[Mitral Valve Plasty for Complicated Lesions with Barlow-like Anterior Leaflet].

A 66 year-old male was admitted to our clinic suffering from dyspnea on effort. Cardio thoracic ratio (CTR) was 62%. Electrocardiogram showed atrial fibrillation.

[How to Repair the Bicuspid Aortic Valve Accompanying Regurgitation?].

We repaired the bicuspid aoric valve( BAV) with aortic regurgitation( AR) by bicuspidization. However, repaired fused cusp does not open full, and shows doming. Between 1997 and 2023 we repaired 30 BAV with AR.

Surgical repair of mitral and tricuspid valves after cardiac transplantation.

A 43-year-old man underwent mitral valve repair for mitral valve insufficiency due to infective endocarditis, and tricuspid valve repair for iatrogenic chordal rupture due to multiple endomyocardial biopsies after orthotopic cardiac transplantation. Valve repair using no artificial material is feasible, instead of valve replacement, to decrease the risk of recurrent infective endocarditis and enable further biopsies.
