Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
To date, treatment of mitral valve disease with mitral homograft implantation has been unsatisfactory. We describe two cases of mitral valve repair in man with a cryopreserved partial mitral homograft. Massive mitral insufficiency was surgically corrected by replacement of the severely affected posterior leaflet and the subvalvular apparatus with their corresponding mitral-valve homograft tissue. 22 and 4 months after surgery, the repaired valves remain competent with flexible and normal functioning leaflets and subvalvular apparatus, and the patients are symptom-free. |
