MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE Figure 10-1 MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE The mitral valve is prominent and billowing in a diffuse fashion, with prominent annular dilatation. Valve translucency is completely lost with the myxomatous thickening. More about this image found in MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE The mitral valve is prominent and billowin...

MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE: SURGICAL SPECIMEN Figure 10-11 MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE: SURGICAL SPECIMEN Focal resection of the valve (P2 segment, in this case) produces a thickened, rubbery portion of leaflet that is characteristic of myxomatous disease.

MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE: CORD RUPTURE Figure 10-5 MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE: CORD RUPTURE A single ruptured cord (yellow arrow) can lead to an unsupported (flail) valve segment and regurgitation. The most commonly involved segment is the P2 segment of the posterior leaflet. More about this image found in MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE: CORD RUPTURE A single ruptured cord (yell...

MYXOMATOUS AORTIC VALVE DISEASE Figure 10-9 MYXOMATOUS AORTIC VALVE DISEASE The spongy layer is expanded (double-headed arrow) and thicker than the two adjacent fibrous layers combined. The spongy tissue extends focally into the fibrosa (ventricularis) (black arrowhead), seen with Verhoeff-van More about this image found in MYXOMATOUS AORTIC VALVE DISEASE The spongy layer is expanded (double-heade...

MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE: ANNULOPLASTY REPAIR Figure 10-12 MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE: ANNULOPLASTY REPAIR Left: A C-shaped annuloplasty ring is installed around the posterior annulus to prevent annular dilatation and regurgitation. Right: A D-shaped ring may be used in cases More about this image found in MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE: ANNULOPLASTY REPAIR Left: A C-shaped annu...

MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE Figure 10-8 MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE The spongy layer (double-headed arrow) is expanded so that it is thicker than the two adjacent fibrous layers combined, along with focal extension of the spongy tissue into the fibrosa (ventricularis) (black arrowhead More about this image found in MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE The spongy layer (double-headed arrow) is ...
