Highlights
•Mitral valve (MV) aneurysms are unusual lesions, its incidence is 0.02% to 0.29%.
•Most cases of MV aneurysms are a complication of aortic valve endocarditis.
•Direct Infection of MV leaflets and degenerative lesions could cause a MV aneurysms.
•MV aneurysms are rarely surgical complication, however, it should be kept in mind.

The surgical treatment for young patients with aortic valve diseases has not been standardized because of differences in the patients’ growth. We aimed to investigate short-term results of aortic valve repair with leaflet extension techniques. From October 2017 to June 2020, we performed aortic valve repair with leaflet extension technique in 15 co...
In acute severe aortic regurgitation, an inversion of pressure gradient from the left ventricle to the left atrium causes the classical sign of end-diastolic mitral regurgitation. Here we present a case of mid-diastolic mitral regurgitation in a 51-year-old man with severe aortic regurgitation secondary to infective endocarditis. (Level of Difficul...
Background
Doppler transthoracic echocardiography is routinely performed to measure peak mitral inflow velocities in the assessment of left ventricular diastolic function. The limitations of echocardiography are well documented, but its accuracy in the measurement of transmitral peak velocity in the presence of aortic valve regurgitation has not ye...
Unicuspid aortic valves are rare congenital malformations. Surgical repair is feasible in aortic regurgitation, and in some cases of aortic stenosis. The standard surgical approach is a bicuspidization and symmetrization with pericardial patch augmentation of valve leaflets. Herein, we are describing our original technique for bicuspidization of a...
Background
Closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects (pmVSD), either surgical or percutaneous, might improve or cause new-onset mitral regurgitation (MR) and aortic regurgitation (AR). We aimed to evaluate the changes in MR and AR after pmVSD closure by these two methods.
Material and method
We performed a comparative retrospective data...
