Revisiting percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy technique and safety in various population: an evidence-based case report and literature review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy (PBMV) is a good and preferred therapy choice over surgical commissurotomy for patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS). Conversely, AF leads to a lower PBMV success rate as well as worse long-term and in-hospital outcomes.

Potential Effects of Mild Atrial Secondary Mitral Regurgitation in Patients With Isolated Atrial Fibrillation

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging

BACKGROUND:Patients with only moderate atrial secondary mitral regurgitation (asMR) frequently develop heart failure (HF). Although mild/moderate primary mitral regurgitation is compensated by left ventricular (LV) dilatation, the LV is not dilated in asMR. Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, Ahead of Print.

Characteristics, determinants, and prognostic impact of severe tricuspid regurgitation in patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation: Insights from the REVEAL‐AFMR registry

European Journal of Heart Failure

Prognostic impact of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR). Abstract Aims Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is often seen in patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR). The secondary endpoint was all-cause mortality. in severe AFMR.

A woman in her 20s with syncope

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

However, if you freeze the ultrasound clip and scroll forwards and backwards to find a time during the clip where the patient’s mitral valve is open, you know the heart is filling, and is therefore in diastole. She was discharged after a short hospitalization with oncology and cardiology follow-up. This patient is only pseudo-stable.

Direct Oral Anticoagulants Versus Vitamin K Antagonists After Mitral Valve Transcatheter Edge‐to‐Edge Repair in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: A Single‐Center Observational Study

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundMitral valve transcatheter edgetoedge repair (MTEER) has emerged as a viable therapy option in patients with severe mitral regurgitation and high surgical risk. The primary end point was a composite of ischemic cerebrovascular and bleeding events.

Clinical effect of vein of Marshall ethanol infusion on mitral isthmus ablation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the effect of Marshall ethanol infusion (VOM-Et) in the vein on mitral isthmus (MI) ablation. Methods Patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) were grouped into vein of VOM-Et combined with radiofrequency (RF) ablation (VOM-Et-RF) and RF groups.
