The Pathophysiology of Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation: Implications for Surgical and Percutaneous Intervention

Ani Anyanwu, Parwis B. Rahmanian, Farzan Filsoufi, David H. Adams

Mitral regurgitation (MR) resulting from prior myocardial infarction is now recognized as an important clinical sequel that directly impacts the long-term outcome of patients. The pathophysiology of this disease process is now well established, and much clinical interest is currently di...

Current Concepts in Mitral Valve Repair for Degenerative Disease

David H. Adams, Ani Anyanwu, Parwis B. Rahmanian, Farzan Filsoufi

Mitral valve repair remains an underutilized technique for patients with degenerative mitral valve disease. A clear understanding of pathological anatomy and dysfunction helps the referring cardiologist and surgeon define the likelihood of repair for a given patient with mitral valve di...

Mitral Valve Repair with Carpentier-McCarthy-Adams IMR ETlogix Annuloplasty Ring for Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation: Early Echocardiographic Results From A Multi-Center Study

Masao Daimon, Shota Fukuda, David H. Adams, Patrick M. McCarthy, A. Marc Gillinov, Alain Carpentier, Farzan Filsoufi, Vivian M. Abascal, Vera H. Rigolin, Sacha Salzberg, Anna Huskin, Michelle Langenfeld and Takahiro Shiota

Surgical repair of IMR with the novel asymmetric CMA IMR ETlogix annuloplasty ring provided excellent early results with effective reduction of MR, MAD, and leaflet tethering. This novel etiology-specific strategy may result in improved outcomes in IMR patients.

Another Chapter In an Enlarging Book: Repair Degenerative Mitral Valves

David H. Adams, Farzan Filsoufi

The superiority of mitral valve repair over replacement in patients with degenerative mitral valve disease is now widely held to be true. It would be surprising to see a single hand raised in a medical audience today if you asked, “Who would prefer to have his or her own valve replaced ...

Pitfalls and Limitations In Measuring and Interpreting the Outcomes of Mitral Valve Repair

David H. Adams, Ani Anyanwu

We outline specific challenges in measuring and reporting outcomes of mitral valve repair. Although we illustrate these using the study of Serri and colleagues, the pitfalls are not unique to their study and apply to varying degrees in all studies of mitral valve repair. Knowledge of th...
