Aims: This prospective study was undertaken to analyze the outcomes of conservative surgery with the "clover technique" for active infective tricuspid valve endocarditis.
Methods: Five consecutive patients underwent surgery for active infective tricuspid valve endocarditis. The mean age was 36.
Background: Chordal cutting through atriotomy has been proposed to treat significant resting ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) due to anterior leaflet tenting. In addition, MR may exacerbate during exercise not only trough exercise-induced ischemia but also through an increase in tenting area. Accordingly, we aimed to perform chordal cutting through aortotomy in patients with exercise-induced ischemic worsening of MR.

Background: The optimal surgical treatment of ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with coronary artery disease is controversial. The standard treatment is revascularization and reduction annuloplasty.
Background And Aim Of The Study: Cardiovascular risk factors have been associated with aortic valve stenosis, which is considered as an atherosclerosis-like process. The study aim was to assess the effect of cardiovascular risk factors on early and late outcome after valve replacement with a bioprosthesis for aortic stenosis (AS), and the impact of these factors on the outcome of the bioprosthesis.
Methods: Preoperative clinical, biological and echocardiographic data were recorded in 222 patients (110 males, 112 females; mean age 73 +/- 8 years) who underwent surgery for severe AS between 1989 and 1993.
