“…Although there is no specifically established treatment for UPE that differs from BPE, UPE is associated with more severe conditions requiring mechanical ventilation and more intensive inotropic support [ 6 ]. The major cause of cardiogenic UPE is MR due to its propensity to flow anatomically into the right superior pulmonary vein [ 7 ]. Another underlying mechanism of right-sided UPE is a difference in interstitial flow in the lungs due to the right-sided lymphatic vessels having a smaller aperture and a longer distance to the thoracic duct than left-sided lymphatic vessels [ 8 , 9 ].…”

“…Mitral kapak papiller rüptürüne sekonder ortaya çıkan mitral regürjitasyon nedeni ile sol atriyum kompliyansı azalır. Akut durumlarda sol atriyumda dilatasyon kronik süreçlerdeki gibi oluşamayacağından mevcut basınç pulmoner sisteme yansır ve hızla dekompanzasyon tablosu gelişebilir (10). Simmers ve arkadaşlarının yayınladığı derlemede travma sonrası mitral yetmezlik gelişen hastaların cerrahi girişim ihtiyacının saatler içinde ya da aylar sonra gelişebileceği gösterilmiştir.…”
