Nov 19th, 2020 - Mitral stenosis (MS) is associated with left atrial (LA) functional and morphological changes as a result of chronic increase in LA pressure. Relieving the mitral obstruction via balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) might be associated with LA struc...

Nov 17th, 2020 - We present a rare case of delayed diagnosis of mitral stenosis, initially presenting with hoarseness in her voice due to left recurrent laryngeal nerve (LRLN) compression. A 60-year-old woman presented to the otorhinolaryngology department followi...

Nov 16th, 2020 - The long-term prognosis for up to 20 years of patients who have undergone percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) for mitral stenosis (MS) is unknown.We examined 77 of 93 patients (83%) with MS and who underwent PTMC from 1989 to 200...

May 30th, 2019 - Explanation The correct answer is cyanosis. Reduced excursion of the mitral leaflets during diastole is shown in the apical four-chamber view (Figure 1). The color Doppler image (Figure 2) shows turbulent flow entering the left ventricle during di...

Mar 11th, 2019 - Patients with mitral stenosis and atrial fibrillation (Afib) did well on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for thromboembolic event prevention, retrospective data indicated. Individuals with both conditions who were using DOACs off-label had fewe...

Jun 26th, 2017 - NEW YORK – Repairing mitral valves in pediatric patients must overcome two issues: the wide variability in their anatomy and their growth. Using strategies and techniques common in adult mitral surgery can accomplish good mitral valve function in.
