The early 1-year results of this endovascular study support the concept that femoropopliteal endobypass for atherosclerotic occlusive disease may be an acceptable alternative to classic direct femoropopliteal bypass operations. Further study is necessary.
Mitral valve regurgitation caused by an isolated cleft of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve is a rare condition, usually corrected early in life. We report the case of a 66 year old patient with an isolated cleft, which was successfully corrected through a minimally-invasive approach, demonstrating good visibility and direct closure of the cleft.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
