Mitral Valve Prolapse
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Mitral Valve Prolapse'Abnormal protrusion or billowing of one or both of the leaflets of MITRAL VALVE into the LEFT ATRIUM during SYSTOLE. This allows the backflow of blood into left atrium leading to MITRAL VALVE INSUFFICIENCY; SYSTOLIC MURMURS; or CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA. Common names: Mitral Valve Prolapse; Mitral Valve Prolapses; Prolapse, Mitral Valve; Prolapses, Mitral Valve; Valve Prolapse, Mitral; Valve Prolapses, Mitral; Mitral Click-Murmur Syndrome; Click-Murmur Syndrome, Mitral; Mitral Click Murmur Syndrome; Syndrome, Mitral Click-Murmur; Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome |

Quadrangular resection of the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve is a well-established technique for the treatment of mitral regurgitation from prolapse of P2. Recently, Suri described triangular resection of the prolapsing scallop, a technique ... Read more...
Acute fibrin deposition causing acute failure of two tissue pericardial valves.
30 Aug 2009 We report the early failure of two tissue valves within hours of surgery due to the accumulation of cellular debris in two different institutions in the United Kingdom. The valves were both found at explant to be covered in a cellular material - ... Read more...
Long-term outcome of mitral valve repair for infective endocarditis.
30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: In patients with mitral endocarditis, reconstruction of the damaged mitral valve (MV) is still challenging, and its durability remains unknown. We evaluated the long-term outcomes of MV repair for mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients ... Read more...
