Objectives This study aims to establish a computed tomography (CT)–based scoring system
for grading mitral annular calcification (MAC) severity and potentially aid in predicting valve …

Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a chronic degenerative process associated with
advanced age and conditions predisposing to left ventricular hypertrophy. Assessment of …

Aims Calcified aortic stenosis (AS) and mitral annular calcification (MAC) have certain
similar etiology and pathophysiological mechanisms. MAC is frequently encountered in pre …

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate 1-year outcomes of valve–in–mitral annular
calcification (ViMAC) in the MITRAL (Mitral Implantation of Transcatheter Valves) trial …

Background: The risk of surgical mitral valve replacement in patients with severe mitral
annular calcification (MAC) is high. Several patients worldwide with severe MAC have been …

Abstract Background The MITRAL (Mitral Implantation of Transcatheter Valves) trial is the
first prospective study for valve-in-mitral annular calcification (ViMAC), mitral valve-in-ring …

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the outcomes of the early experience of
transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) with balloon-expandable valves in patients …

Mitral annulus calcification (MAC) is a chronic, degenerative process in the fibrous base of
the mitral valve. Although MAC was initially thought to be an age-related degenerative …

Objective To assess the outcomes of transatrial implantation of a transcatheter heart valve
(THV) for the treatment of mitral valve disease with severe mitral annular calcification (MAC) …

Objectives: We sought to determine the magnitude of the association between mitral annular
calcification (MAC) and vascular events in a multiethnic cohort. Background: Mitral annular …
