1. Mid-term results of the maze procedure using radiofrequency ablation in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and rheumatic mitral valve disease / "Avaliação dos resultados a médio prazo da ablação cirúrgica por radiofreqüência da fibrilação atrial permanente em pacientes portadores de valvopatia mitral reumática"
A ablação cirúrgica por radiofreqüência (RF) é uma nova técnica para tratar a fibrilação atrial (FA) permanente. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a eficácia da ablação cirúrgica por RF da FA permanente em pacientes com valvopatia mitral reumática (VMR). Entre Fevereiro de 2002 e Abril de 2003, 70 pacientes com FA permanente e VMR foram submet

2. Can mitral regurgitation after balloon dilatation of the mitral valve be predicted?
OBJECTIVE--To determine which factors predict the occurrence of mitral regurgitation after balloon dilatation of the mitral valve for rheumatic stenosis. DESIGN--Analysis of a case series of patients with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis who had had successful balloon dilatation of the mitral valve. SETTING--A tertiary care centre with an experience of over 1

3. Pathology of the heart in the tenth decade
The pathology of the heart was studied in 60 patients dying in their tenth decade in a general hospital. The severity of coronary atherosclerosis and the incidence of ischaemic heart disease was lower than in younger geriatric patients. The incidence of minor `aging' changes was similar to that in younger patients with the exception of mitral valve atheroma

4. Mitral valve pericardioplasty—a long-term follow-up study
Posterior (17) and anterior (3) mitral cusp pericardioplasties were performed in 20 patients between 6 December 1961 and 10 July 1963. A long-term follow-up study was done in nine patients. In six of these, mitral valvectomy with Starr-Edwards ball valve replacement was required after intervals varying between two years and three months and seven years and t

6. Intraoperative Assessment of Tricuspid Valve Function After Conservative Repair
It is desirable to repair coexistent tricuspid valve pathology at the time of mitral valve corrections. Conservative tricuspid repair may consist of commissurotomy, annuloplasty, or both. It is important that the repair be appropriate or tricuspid valve replacement may be necessary. A simple reproducible method of intraoperative testing for tricuspid valve i

7. Pathological and clinical study of calcification of the mitral valve ring
The pathology and clinical features of 258 cases of mitral ring calcification were reviewed. The overall incidence in patients over 50 years of age was 8·5%; it was more than twice as high in women (11·5%) as in men (4·5%) and rose sharply with age.

8. Pathology of the formalin-treated heterograft porcine aortic valve in the mitral position
The mitral valve was replaced by a pig aortic valve in 33 patients at Groote Schuur Hospital. Eleven of the failed heterograft aortic valves were examined at intervals of from 2 to 32 months after insertion. Fourteen control pig aortic valves were also examined. Electron microscopy was performed on two of the failed heterograft valves and three control pig v

9. Duplication of the tricuspid valve
Duplication of the atrioventricular (AV) valves is a rare anomaly, more commonly seen in the mitral position. Only 13 cases have been reported in the literature.1-10 The case described here represents an unusual variant of this anomaly and provides an opportunity to review the pathology and embryologic genesis of duplication deformities of the AV valves.

10. Cardiovascular manifestations of Marfan's syndrome: improved evaluation by transoesophageal echocardiography.
OBJECTIVES--To assess the value of transoesophageal echocardiography in patients with Marfan syndrome particularly those with suspected aortic pathology or where conventional transthoracic imaging was suboptimal. DESIGN AND PATIENTS--Eleven patients with Marfan syndrome. Seven patients were studied because of suspected aortic dissection and four because of i

11. Pathology of antibiotic-treated human heart valve allografts
Gavin, J. B., Herdson, P. B., Monro, J. L., and Barratt-Boyes, B. G. (1973).Thorax, 28, 473-481. Pathology of antibiotic-treated human heart valve allografts. Forty-two human heart valves treated with an antibiotic solution were examined by light and electron microscopy up to 168 weeks after grafting in aortic, mitral, and tricuspid positions. There was a pr

12. The role of two-dimensional echocardiography in the detection of potentially embolic intracardiac masses in patients with cerebral ischaemia.
The M-mode and two dimensional echocardiographic data of 62 consecutive cardiac patients referred from neurology centres were analysed retrospectively to establish the use of these techniques in detecting underlying cardiac pathology. All patients had presented initially to a neurologist with transient or permanent focal cerebral or retinal ischaemia, and ha
