Clinical Research and Surgical Treatment of Mitral Annular Calcification
Mitral annular calcification is a clinically common degenerative heart disease in elderly persons,and its cause and pathogenesis are still not completely clear,and there is also no consensus on the therapeutic strategy.When mitral annular calcification causes mitral valve dysfunction,surgical intervention is often required,but surgical mortality rate and serious complications are high.The intervention methods include surgical treatment,interventional therapy,and hybrid surgery.This paper classifies and summarizes these methods,and reviews the main indications,key steps,treatment effects,and the progress of new technologies.
