Duplicate mitral valve in an infant with Shone's anomaly.

30 Oct 2009 Duplication of mitral valve is a very rare anomaly. It is characterized by two independent mitral valve apparatuses (leaflets and annulus) and subvalvular apparatuses (chordae and papillary muscles) that function well by themselves. In this report, ... Read more...

Post-traumatic rupture of the anterolateral papillary muscle.

30 Oct 2009 Rupture of cardiac valves as a consequence of nonpenetrating cardiac trauma is an uncommon phenomenon. We report the case of a 24-year-old patient with a "two-stage" traumatic rupture of the anterolateral papillary muscle of the mitral valve, after ... Read more...

Successful transapical aortic valve replacement in a patient with a previous mechanical mitral valve replacement.

30 Oct 2009 In this case we illustrate our experience with transapical minimal invasive aortic valve replacement in a patient who previously underwent mitral valve replacement. The implantation did not interfere with the existing prosthesis and could even be ... Read more...
