  2. Mitral regurgitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_regurgitation

    Mitral regurgitation, also known as mitral insufficiency or mitral incompetence, is the backward flow of blood from the left ventricle, through the mitral valve, and into the left atrium, when the left ventricle contracts, resulting in a systolic murmur radiating to the left armpit.

  3. MitraClip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MitraClip

    MitraClip (mitral clip) is a medical device used to treat mitral valve regurgitation for individuals who should not have open-heart surgery. It is implanted via a tri-axial transcatheter technique and involves suturing together the anterior and posterior mitral valve leaflets.

  4. Mitral valve replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve_replacement

    Mitral valve replacement is a procedure whereby the diseased mitral valve of a patient's heart is replaced by either a mechanical or tissue (bioprosthetic) valve. The mitral valve may need to be replaced because: [citation needed] The valve is leaky (mitral valve regurgitation) The valve is narrowed and doesn't open properly (mitral valve stenosis)

  5. Mitral valve repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve_repair

    Mitral valve repair is a cardiac surgery procedure performed by cardiac surgeons to treat stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leakage) of the mitral valve. The mitral valve is the "inflow valve" for the left side of the heart. Blood flows from the lungs, where it picks up oxygen, through the pulmonary veins, to the left atrium of the heart.

  6. Infective endocarditis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infective_endocarditis

    The main indication for surgical treatment is regurgitation or stenosis. In active infective endocarditis, the surgery should remove enough leaflet tissue to ensure eradication of the infectious process. [60] Subsequent valve repair can be performed in limited disease. [60]

  7. Mitral stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_stenosis

    The treatment options for mitral stenosis include mitral valve replacement by surgery, and percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty by balloon catheter. [15] The indication for invasive treatment with either a mitral valve replacement or valvuloplasty is NYHA functional class III or IV symptoms. [citation needed] Another option is balloon dilatation. [16]

  8. Valvular heart disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valvular_heart_disease

    Symptoms of mitral stenosis increase with exercise and pregnancy [16] On auscultation of a patient with mitral stenosis, typically the most prominent sign is a loud S 1 . [ 16 ] Another finding is an opening snap followed by a low-pitched diastolic rumble with presystolic accentuation.

  9. Mitral valve annuloplasty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve_annuloplasty

    Mitral regurgitation is the most common form of mitral valve dysfunction. Today more than 2.5 million Americans are estimated to be affected by mitral regurgitation. This number is expected to double by the year 2030. Every year, 300,000 people worldwide undergo open heart surgery for mitral valve repair, 44,000 people in the US alone. [1]
