[Mitral Valve Plasty in a Patient with Situs Inversus Totalis; Usefulness of Retrograde Cardioprotective Beating Test].
Kyobu Geka. the Japanese Journal of Thoracic Surgery 2015 November
We report the usefulness of retrograde cardioprotective(RC)-beating test as a method to evaluate mitral valve plasty (MVP). MVP has been established as an effective procedure for mitral regurgitation, but nevertheless, a problem remains as to how to reduce postoperative residual regurgitation. In order to solve this problem, it is crucial to image the 3 dimensional structures of the mitral valve and its systolic condition. However, it is quite difficult especially in cases of situs inversus totalis (SIT). RC-beating test gives a clear view of the mitral valve and precisely evaluates the performance of MVP, which is particulary helpful in SIT patients. It also shows where to revise in cases of residual regurgitation.
