Windsock mitral valve after prior aortic valve endocarditis.

J Cardiothorac Surg

December 2024

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA.

Background: Windsock deformities, though rare, represent a severe form of valvular aneurysm distinguished by localized balloon-like protrusions of the leaflet body. Here, we present a compelling case of windsock mitral valve (MV) formation subsequent to incompletely managed aortic valve (AV) endocarditis. The case is illustrated through radiographic, intraoperative, and histopathologic images.

Background: Acute type A aortic dissection (A-AAD) with severe acute aortic regurgitation (AR) and coronary involvement is a potentially fatal condition that causes left ventricular volume overload and catastrophic acute myocardial infarction. We present the successful management of a patient using Impella 5.5 following cardiopulmonary arrest caused by A-AAD with severe acute AR and left main trunk (LMT) obstruction.

Background: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is an underdiagnosed, progressive and lethal disease. Machine learning applied to common measurements derived from routine echocardiogram studies can inform suspicion of CA.

Objectives: Our objectives were to test a random forest (RF) model in detecting CA.

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) and endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) are major causes of cardiac disease in low-income countries. We present a case of a patient with mitral stenosis and restrictive cardiomyopathy, initially attributed to severe RHD, but with disease progression despite valve replacement, likely secondary to previously undiagnosed EMF.

Aims: Limited data exist on the natural history of functional mitral regurgitation (FMR), including atrial (AFMR), ventricular (VFMR), and dual FMR. This study examined the prevalence, characteristics, outcomes, and progression of these FMR subtypes.

Methods And Results: Consecutive patients with ≥mild to moderate FMR were included and classified as AFMR, VFMR, or dual FMR.
