Using Pulse Counter Vigileo-Flotrac System in Transapical Off-pump Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair
Using Pulse Counter Vigileo-Flotrac System in Transapical Off-pump Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair
Minimally invasive transapical off-pump chordae implantation includes features such as
 tachycardia, arrhythmia, hemorrhage, sudden hemodynamic changes caused by the device moving
 in the left ventricle and the atrium, for anesthetists. In this observational study, the
 investigators presented the investigators's hemodynamic recuperation and anesthesia
 experiences revealed by cardiac output measurement after transapical mitral valve repair.
In Sakarya University Educational Research Hospital, perioperative file records of 13
 patients who underwent mitral valve repair using the Neochord DS1000 system were
 retrospectively analyzed. In addition, hemodynamic measurements recorded with the Vigileo
 Flotrac invasive arterial cardiac output device were evaluated.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  All patients that surgical criteria for Neochord implantation with transapical
 mini-thoracotomy are prolapsus or chordae rupture in posterior, anterior areas or in
 both leaflets were included.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Exclusion criteria are active endocarditis, functional or ischemic mitral
 insufficiency (MI), excessive calcific valves, leaflet perforation, anemic dilatation
 and severe left ventricular dysfunction.
