What is mitral stenosis PPT?

Mitral Regurgitation • Backflow of blood through a defective heart valve. • Any one or more of the five functional components of the mitral valve apparatus – Leaflets, – Annulus, – Chordae tendineae, – Papillary muscles, – Subjacent myocardium.

What is mitral Commissurotomy?

Mitral valve commissurotomy is the technique used to repair mitral valve stenosis. Mitral stenosis is most commonly due to rheumatic heart disease. There are multiple techniques used for the repair of mitral stenosis.

What is the definition of mitral stenosis?

Mitral stenosis is the narrowing of the mitral valve, which controls the flow of blood from the heart’s left atrium to the left ventricle. The left ventricle is your heart’s main pumping chamber.

What is percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy?

Percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy is a technique that allows relief of mitral stenosis without thoracotomy. Commissurotomy of the mitral valve with proper sized balloons that are placed antegrade by means of a transseptal catheterization results in good immediate and midterm results in most patients.

What are the symptoms of mitral stenosis?

Signs and symptoms of mitral valve stenosis include:

  • Shortness of breath, especially with activity or when you lie down.
  • Fatigue, especially during increased activity.
  • Swollen feet or legs.
  • Sensations of a rapid, fluttering heartbeat (palpitations)
  • Chest discomfort or chest pain.
  • Coughing up blood.
  • Dizziness or fainting.

What is a commissurotomy used for?

A commissurotomy (/ˌkɒməʃərˈɒtəmi/) is a surgical incision of a commissure in the body, as one made in the heart at the edges of the commissure formed by cardiac valves, or one made in the brain to treat certain psychiatric disorders.

What is percutaneous balloon mitral commissurotomy?

Abstract. Percutaneous mitral commissurotomy (PMC) is the first-line therapy for managing rheumatic mitral stenosis. Over the past two decades, the indications of the procedure have expanded to include patients with unfavourable valve anatomy as a consequence of epidemiological changes in patient population.

What is clinical features of mitral stenosis?

Mitral valve stenosis — sometimes called mitral stenosis — is a narrowing of the heart’s mitral valve. This abnormal valve doesn’t open properly, blocking blood flow into the main pumping chamber of your heart (left ventricle). Mitral valve stenosis can make you tired and short of breath, among other problems.

What is the pathophysiology of mitral stenosis?

Severe mitral stenosis occurs with a valve area of less than 1 cm2. As the valve progressively narrows, the resting diastolic mitral valve gradient, and hence left atrial pressure, increases. This leads to transudation of fluid into the lung interstitium and dyspnea at rest or with minimal exertion.

What is the treatment for trans-septal balloon valvotomy?

Treatment: Trans-septal balloon valvotomy • Catheter introduced into R atriam via femoral vein • Under local anasthesia • Inter atrial septum is punctured • Catheter enter into left atrium then to mitral valve • Balloon is inflated, briefly to split the valve commissures JMJ 26 27. Treatment: Trans-septal balloon valvotomy JMJ 27 28.

What are the contraindications for trans septal balloon valvotomy?

Treatment: Trans-septal balloon valvotomy • Complications – Regurgitation may result • Contraindications – Heavy calcification – More than mild mitral regurgitation & thrombus in the L/atrium • TOE is done before this procedure JMJ 28 29.

What is driving the growth of transcatheter mitral valve repair devices market?

The growth of transcatheter mitral valve repair devices market is growing due to the increasing prevalence of the mitral valve disorders. | PowerPoint PPT presentation | free to view

What is the JMJ 29 treatment for mitral valve prolapse?

29. Treatment: Closed valvotomy • For the patients with – mobile, – non calcified and – non regurgitant mitral valves • Fused cusps  forced apart by a dilator (introduced through the apex of L/ ventricle) • Cardiopulmonary bypass is not needed for this operation JMJ 29 30.
