“…Moreover, the annuloplasty using a circular ring also prevented further mitral annulus dilatation. 4 Based on the pericardial ring size, the autologous pericardial cord measuring 9.0 cm in length was prepared as a circular fl exible ring because a 30 mm Physio ring was used in a previous operation.…”

We report the case of a 61-year-old man with prosthetic valve endocarditis after both aortic valve replacement and mitral annuloplasty. Necrotic tissue and dehiscence of the suture line in the aortic annulus were found, and the infection extended to the anterior portion of the mitral prosthetic ring. The autologous pericardial cord was used as a substitute for the infected mitral prosthetic ring, and aortic root replacement was performed with a stentless bioprosthesis. The autologous pericardial cord was useful as a substitute for an infected mitral prosthetic ring.

“…Avoidance of annuloplasty rings altogether has also been advocated [55]. However, SAM has still been reported even without the use of annuloplasty rings [56,57]. With data suggesting an earlier reoperation if annuloplasty rings are avoided, it is suggestive to place the right annuloplasty ring in every mitral valve repair [27,44].…”

“…Anchors are placed in the annulus and connected with a drawstring that plicates the annulus when tension is applied. Clinically, open surgical suture plication has been associated with freedom from reoperation of Ͼ90%, with Ͼ80% freedom from death, reoperation, and recurrent MR. 90 Percutaneous suture plication data are pending.…”

Abstract-The incidence of valvular heart disease is expected to increase over the next several decades as a large proportion of the US demographic advances into the later decades of life. At the same time, the next several years can be anticipated to bring a broad transition of surgical therapy to minimally invasive (minithoracotomy and small port) access and the more gradual introduction of percutaneous approaches for the correction of valvular heart disease. Broad acceptance of these technologies will require careful and sometimes perplexing comparisons of the outcomes of these new technologies with existing standards of care. The validation of percutaneous techniques, in particular, will require the collaboration of cardiologists and cardiac surgeons in centers with excellent surgical and catheter experience and a commitment to trial participation. For the near term, percutaneous techniques will likely remain investigational and will be limited in use to patients considered to be high risk or to inoperable surgical candidates. Although current-generation devices and techniques require significant modification before widespread clinical use can be adopted, it must be expected that less invasive and even percutaneous valve therapies will likely have a major impact on the management of patients with valvular heart disease over the next several years.
