AI Article Synopsis
- Intra-operative failures in mitral valve repair are frequently seen in patients with complex myxomatous disease, necessitating additional surgical procedures.
- The text discusses a simple and effective surgical technique for correcting these failures, particularly through a method of artificial chord reconstruction.
- This method focuses on maintaining previously completed surgical steps and accurately measuring chordal lengths using annuloplasty as a reference point.
Article Abstract
Intra-operative mitral valve repair failure is a common condition in patients with complex myxomatous disease requiring aortic re-clamping and application of a fast and easy surgical technique to correct the residual imperfection. Herein we describe a reproducible method of artificial chord reconstruction which preserves the previous accomplished acts and allows for accurate chordal length measurement basing on the annuloplasty as the reference level.

Prevalence of pulmonary hypertension and associated factors among rheumatic heart disease patients in Ethiopia.
BMC Cardiovasc Disord
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, Collage of Medicine and Health Science, Debre Markos University, Debre Markos, Ethiopia.
Background: In developing countries evidences regarding pulmonary hypertension (PH) in rheumatic heart disease (RHD) patients are lacking, despite being responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. As a result, identifying the factors that influence PH is crucial to improve the quality of care.
Objective: To determine prevalence of pulmonary hypertension and its associated factors among rheumatic heart disease patients at the public hospitals of Bahir Dar city, Ethiopia.
Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in severe mitral regurgitation following acute myocardial infarction - aetiology-based analysis.
Eur J Heart Fail
January 2025
Jesselson Integrated Heart Centre, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.
Aims: To evaluate the association between transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and outcomes in patients with significant mitral regurgitation (MR) following acute myocardial infarction (MI), focusing on the aetiology of acute post-MI MR in high-risk surgical patients.
Methods And Results: The International Registry of MitraClip in Acute Mitral Regurgitation following Acute Myocardial Infarction (IREMMI) includes 187 patients with severe MR post-MI managed with TEER. Of these, 176 were included in the analysis, 23 (13%) patients had acute papillary muscle rupture (PMR) and 153 (87%) acute secondary MR.
Transcatheter closure of paravalvular leakage through multiple approaches after surgical mechanical valve replacements: A retrospective study.
Medicine (Baltimore)
November 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Xijing Hospital, Air Force Medical University, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China.
Background: Transcatheter closure of percutaneous paravalvular leak (PVL) is a technically challenging procedure, especially after surgical mechanical valve replacements (SMVR), as the risk of interference with the prosthetic valve discs and the complex interventional techniques required for mitral PVL closure. Our study was designed to review the results with transcatheter closure of PVL after SMVR.
Methods: From January 2018 through December 2023, a total of 64 patients with PVL after SMVR underwent transcatheter closure with the help of preoperative 3-dimensional printing model and simulator for image evaluation.
Warfarin-induced gastrointestinal bleeding with acute liver failure: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)

Rationale: Warfarin is the most commonly used drug in patients with mechanical valve replacement. Acute liver damage after warfarin is rare but potentially harmful. We present a case of warfarin-induced gastrointestinal bleeding with liver injury, pharmacy monitoring, and its therapy.
