HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF MITRAL VALVE PROSTHETICS WITH AUTOPERICARDIUM

Highlights

This article describes not only the contribution of surgeons from different countries and the evolution of the method, but also the contribution of domestic specialists. The article makes us wonder whether mitral valve reconstruction with autopericardium is really a promising technique. Further study of the long-term results and improvement of the technique are necessary.

Abstract

Mitral valve replacement with autologous pericardium is a new perspective method of treatment, which can be used for a wide range of mitral valve diseases when its reconstruction is not possible. Thanks to this method, there is no need for lifelong administration of anticoagulants, and optimal coaptation of the leaflets is provided. This review describes historical aspects of mitral valve replacement with autopericardium, mentions the first interventions, reflects the evolution of autopericardium mitral valve replacement technique.
