[A surgical series of 128 cases of mitral insufficiency caused by chordae tendineae rupture].

In relation with 128 cases of surgical operation for mitral incompetence through ruptured chordae tendinae, the aetiological, anatomical and clinical characteristics of these cases were described. Bacterial endocarditis and spontaneous rupture were present in 77 percent of cases. In 94.4 percent of the cases, the patient coming to operation was in a high functional class (class III and IV of the NYHA). Operation included valve replacement in 100 cases (by a Starr-Edwards prosthesis), while the mitral valve was preserved in 28 patients. The conservative operation presently performed combined the resection-suture of the deinserted area and a reconstitutive valvuloplasty over a Carpentier's ring. Results of this surgery are good in more than 90 percent of the cases.

[Re-operations on mitral valve prostheses. Apropos of 40 cases].

The present study deals with a series of 40 reoperations in a group of 1279 patients undergoing mitral valve replacement. All reoperations were late following the immediate post-operative period, the earliest being 5 months after the primary operation. The factors which were analyzed are: causes of reoperation, the most frequent being paravalvular leaks and valve thrombosis, diagnostic methods, surgical techniques and results following reoperation.
