Methods: Patients undergoing mitral ViV and ViR were enrolled in the Valve-in-Valve International Data. Cases were performed between March 2006 and March 2020.

Patients with progressive MS (mitral valve area greater above 1.5cm 2) who show exertional symptoms (NYHA Functional Class II-IV) and present with evidence of hemodynamically significant MS after ...

Transcatheter mitral valve repair improved clinical outcomes in patients with HF across all quartiles of mitral valve gradient, according to new data from the COAPT trial. As Healio previously ...

For patients with failing bioprosthetic surgical mitral valves, the transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve (ViV) procedure provides early outcomes similar to those seen with repeat surgical replacement, ...

Outcomes in Patients Discharged on OAC vs. DAPT After Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Using a Fluoropolymer Coated Device: A Sub-analysis of the HEAL-LAA Post Approval Study Receive the the latest ...

Less is known about mitral valve-in-valve or valve-in-ring procedures, since there have been only small case series published. Findings from 91 patients in a global registry were presented at the ...

However, outcomes varied. One patient had a residual MV mean gradient > 10 mm Hg, and seven had a mean gradient > 5 mm Hg (mild stenosis < 5 mm Hg). Complications also occurred.

Mitral-valve areas in patients with atrial fibrillation ranged from 0.6 to 1.5 cm 2, and those in patients with normal sinus rhythm ranged from 0.5 to 2.8 cm 2 (normal range, 4–6 cm 2).

If you have severe mitral leakage even without symptoms, it’s important to see a physician who can diagnose the problem and help determine if the valve should be watched or repaired. Medications ...

Following a Carpentier Edwards mitral valve replacement (MVR), left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is observed that leads to a gradient of more than 50mm Hg. This rare complication occurs ...
