Monocuspidalisation of the mitral valve can be a solution for ischemic mitral regurgitation

In authors’ current practice, valve replacements are performed exclusively with valve-preservation techniques; however, posterior leaflet preservation was not possible in this case

Systolic anterior motion selectively of the PML with posterior leaflet- septal contact is not exceptional in generating LV outflow tract obstruction in patients with HCM

(b) Transoesophageal echocardiography revealed pro- lapse of the anterior mitral leaflet (arrow) and restriction of the ventricu- lar septal defect by the tricuspid septal

We showed that (1) MVA (calculated by PHT and planimetry) was significantly higher in patients with SR than in patients with AF, (2) transmitral pressure gradient (maximal and

3-D TEE color Doppler confirmed that the regurgitation originated from where the cleft-like defect was (Fig. 2b, Video 5); herein, we saw a cleft mitral valve with

2D and 3D trans- thoracic echocardiography (TTE) showed that left ventricular ejection fraction was 67%, left heart chambers were dilated and a saccular aneurysm bulging towards
