From The Mitral Valve Repair Reference Center http://www.mitralvalverepair.org at The Mount Sinai Hospital, Dr. Anelechi (Ani) Anyanwu presents the case of a 33 year old male with a long history of a cardiac murmur. He noticed increased palpitations and on echocardiography was observed to have severe mitral regurgitation. Although, his ventricle was of normal size and function, in view of the severe regurgitation, and recent onset of palpitations he was referred for surgical treatment. /nThe operation consisted of: Complex Barlow's Mitral Valve Repair (Resection of Posterior Leaflet and Decalcification, Sliding Leaflet Plasty. Gore-Tex Cord to Posterior Leaflet, Gore-Tex Cords x 2 to Anterior Leaflet and 38mm Carpentier-Edwards Physio-Ring Annuloplasty.)
