Mount Sinai first in US to implant FDA-cleared ring for mitral valve repair
February 25, 2009David H. Adams, MD, Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Professor and Chairman of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at The Mount Sinai Medical Center, performed the first two implantations of the Carpentier-Edwards Physio II ring in the United States yesterday. Dr. Adams co-invented the ring, which was cleared by the Food and Drug Administration last month, with Alain F. Carpentier, MD PhD, Chairman Emeritus of Cardiovascular Surgery at the Hôptial Europeen Georges Pompidou in Paris.
"We have learned a lot since Professor Carpentier invented the original Physio ring, and we are optimistic that the changes we made in the Physio II ring will result in a higher quality of valve repair in patients suffering from mitral valve disease," said Dr. Adams.
The mitral valve lies between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart. It prevents blood from leaking back into the left atrium during ejection (systole). Mitral valve regurgitation occurs when the valve does not close completely, and today the preferred treatment for such a condition is to repair the valve apparatus as opposed to replacing the valve with a metal or animal valve. Annuloplasty rings are specially designed to help restore the mitral valve to its normal size and shape (the valve is often enlarged or distorted in a diseased state.) If left untreated, mitral valve regurgitation can lead to debilitating symptoms including cardiac arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, and irreversible heart damage.
The new Carpentier-Edwards Physio II ring has many unique capabilities for mitral valve repair patients. "We can now use this ring to match the exact measurements and characteristics of a patient's mitral valve like never before," said Dr. Adams. The ring also features a sewing cuff that makes the device easier to implant.

Mitral Valve Repair Current Events and Mitral Valve Repair News RSSStudy details safe, effective, minimally invasive mitral valve repair
Surgical treatment for mitral valve disease includes either repairing the patient's diseased valve or replacing it with a metal, mechanical valve or an animal tissue valve.
Half of eligible patients not getting mitral valve surgery, U-M study shows
Overblown fears about surgical risk and lack of awareness about the risk of not operating are among the reasons only half of eligible patients were referred for mitral valve repair, according to a study by doctors at the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center.
Evalve MitraClip: Clinical trial of nonsurgical repair for severe mitral valve regurgitation
The Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute is the lead enroller in the world for the Everest II Clinical Trial - a study comparing non-surgical repair for severe mitral valve regurgitation with conventional surgery.
Exercise Testing May Help Predict Seriousness of Mitral Regurgitation
In as many as one in five people over age 55, when the heart contracts to send blood around the body, some degree of backward leakage occurs across the mitral valve, a condition known as mitral regurgitation (MR).
New data shows benefits of MitraClip for patients with mitral regurgitation
The vast majority of patients who had a successful result with the percutaneous MitraClip device did not need mitral valve surgery three years after their procedure, and many benefited from significantly improved function of the left ventricle (commonly known as reverse remodeling).
Percutaneous valve therapy: is it safe and effective?
Researchers at TCT 2007, the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF), will present new studies evaluating a rapidly advancing field within interventional cardiology: percutaneous procedures to repair and replace defective heart valves.

Atlas of Mitral Valve Repair by Edward B Savage (Author), Steven F Bolling (Author) This full-color atlas with accompanying video DVD provides a complete and practical "how-to" guide to planning and performing mitral valve repair surgery for mitral regurgitation. The book reviews the natural history of mitral regurgitation, the functional anatomy of the mitral valve, and the use of echocardiography in preoperative evaluation and surgical planning. Chapters describe and illustrate all techniques currently used for mitral valve repair and discuss results. A bound-in DVD presents narrated video clips of six cases that show the application of specific techniques. Each case begins with preoperative echocardiograms demonstrating the mitral valve defect and proceeds through key surgical maneuvers. |

Mitral Valve Repair: The Biologic Solution by Roland Hetzer (Editor), J. Scott Rankin (Editor), Abraham Charles Yankah (Editor) The surgical treatment of the aortic valve and root disease, organic and ischemic mitral regurgitation, and endocarditis has made great strides. Still, there is the well-known dilemma: on the one hand the need for anticoagulation in patients with mechanical valves that otherwise guarantee long-term functioning and, on the other, the unpredictable durability of biological substitutes and of valve repair procedures which, per se, do not require anticoagulation. The choice of procedure is determined by factors such as patients' age, metabolic and bleeding disorders, and bleeding preconditions, as well as such critical issues as the desire to bear children in young women. The book contains a collection of proceedings of The Berlin Heart Valve Symposium 2008 and The Berlin... |

Modern Mitral Valve Repair: Echocardiographic Interpretations and Surgical Strategies by Choi-Keung Ng (Author), Christian Punzengruber (Assistant), Bijoy K. Khandheria (Assistant), Hans-Joachim Nesser (Assistant), Natesa G. Pandian (Assistant), Peter Hartl (Assistant), Otmar Pachinger (Assistant) Preoperative and intraoperative echocardiography has become an indispensable tool for guiding mitral valve surgery and has fostered the development of many innovative surgical techniques. Mitral valvuloplasty is now an established surgical method for the treatment of mitral insufficiency but the success is largely dependent on the extent of the underlying disease of the mitral valve. The book by Dr. Ng and coauthors is an extraordinary presentation of the relation between echocardiographic display of mitral valve pathology and reconstructive mitral valve surgery. The atlas provides an excellent illustrative guide to teach echocardiographic-anatomic correlations and educates the reader on the techniques of mitral valve repair. The quality of the illustrations, particularly the surgical... |
