  • Title: Mitral valve repair in a patient with previous percutaneous annuloplasty with a CARILLON device.
    Author: Bartkowiak M, Bugajski P, Jedlinski I, Kalawski R.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2011 Jun; 12(6):1054-6. PubMed ID: 21422158.
    Abstract:
    A 67-year-old female patient was referred to our clinic for coronary artery bypass graft and severe mitral regurgitation (MR) treatment. The patient had a history of coronary disease and MR treated in 2007 with a CARILLON device. Left mammary and saphenous vein were used to graft the diseased coronaries. MR was corrected with a saddle ring; however, we had some difficulties anchoring ring sutures to the mitral annulus caused by the protruding CARILLON. The ring was finally stitched, and the patient was weaned from bypass. A transoesophageal echo showed a competent valve. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit on moderate catecholamines.
