AI Article Synopsis
- * A case study presented a 16-year-old male who underwent successful minimally invasive surgery to repair severe mitral regurgitation caused by an isolated cleft in the mitral valve, using a new surgical tool called ORBEYE.
- * Post-surgery, the patient's recovery was smooth, and there was minimal regurgitation, suggesting that prompt intervention for severe cases is important.
Article Abstract
The cleft mitral valve leaflet is a common cause of congenital mitral regurgitation and is most often associated with other congenital heart defects, usually endocardial cushion defects. Cases in which cleft mitral valve leaflet is found without an associated defect are called isolated mitral valve clefts. We report a case of mitral valve repair for severe MR due to an isolated cleft with minimally invasive cardiac surgery using ORBEYE in a 16-year-old male patient. Mitral regurgitation caused due to a defect in the anterior leaflet of the isolated mitral valve was observed on echocardiography. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery was performed using ORBEYE, a newly developed surgical microscope, and the cleft was closed using interrupted sutures. The postoperative course was uneventful, with minimal mitral regurgitation observed. Therefore, early intervention should be considered for severe mitral regurgitation due to a mitral valve leaflet cleft.

Aims: This study compared echocardiography (echo) and cardiac computed tomography (CT) in measuring the Wilkins score and evaluated the potential added benefit of CT in predicting immediate percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty (PMV) outcomes in rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) patients deemed eligible for PMV by echo.
Methods And Results: From a multicentre registry of 3,140 patients with at least moderate MS, we included 96 patients (age 56.4±11.

We report a 75-year-old female with a history of two heart operations: aortic valve replacement (St. Jude Medical 21 mm) at the age of 44 years for severe rheumatic aortic stenosis and mitral valve replacement (Carbomedics 29 mm) at the age of 51 years for rheumatic mitral regurgitation. Decades later, she presented with exertional dyspnea.

Introduction The study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the early patient outcome and left ventricular function after mitral valve replacement with a tilting disc valve and total preservation. Patients and methods This retrospective observational study includes patients who underwent mitral valve replacement using a tilting disc valve with total preservation of mitral valvular and subvalvular apparatus from July 2021 to August 2022 at a single center. Results The data were reviewed retrospectively for age, sex, comorbidities, operating time, aortic cross-clamp time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, preoperative and postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction, mean gradient across the mitral valve, left ventricular diameter, left atrial size, atrial fibrillation, complications, mortality, and early patient outcome.

The mechanism and severity of mitral valve (MV) regurgitation (MR) play a critical role in guiding treatment decisions. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the primary diagnostic modality for evaluating MV disease. Discordant findings on TTE can be further quantified through transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
