AI Article Synopsis
- Left ventricular ejection impediment can occur after mitral valve replacement, especially in patients with isolated mitral stenosis and small left ventricles.
- Using a "low profile" valve does not reduce the risk of this complication.
- Diagnosis typically requires catheterization, though ultrasound-Doppler technology may simplify the process.
Article Abstract
Left ventricular ejection impediment is one of the complications of mitral valve replacement, especially in case of isolated mitral stenosis with small left ventricle. The use of a "low profile" valve does not prevent this complication. The diagnosis is based on catheterization but the advent of the ultrasound-Doppler may make it easier.
