Heart Valve Surgery
TheMitralValve provide readers with a comprehensive view of heart valve surgery, replacement and leading heart valve replacement surgery and heart valve repair resource for patients with heart valve disease, disorders and problems.
Fundamentals
The understanding of mitral valve pathology is facilitated by the use of the "pathophysiological triad" described by Carpentier. The pathophysiological triad is composed of etiology (cause of the disease), valve lesions (resulting from the disease) and valve dysfunction (resulting from the lesions). These distinctions are relevant because long-term prognosis depends on etiology, whereas treatment strategy and surgical techniques depend on valve dysfunctions and lesions respectively.
