sevoflurane and Mitral Valve Stenosis

sevoflurane has been researched along with Mitral Valve Stenosis in 1 studies

Sevoflurane: A non-explosive inhalation anesthetic used in the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. It does not cause respiratory irritation and may also prevent PLATELET AGGREGATION.
sevoflurane : An ether compound having fluoromethyl and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl as the two alkyl groups.

Mitral Valve Stenosis: Narrowing of the passage through the MITRAL VALVE due to FIBROSIS, and CALCINOSIS in the leaflets and chordal areas. This elevates the left atrial pressure which, in turn, raises pulmonary venous and capillary pressure leading to bouts of DYSPNEA and TACHYCARDIA during physical exertion. RHEUMATIC FEVER is its primary cause.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Patients diagnosed with ocular myasthenia gravis (MG) and mitral valve disease represent a significant perioperative management problem, especially for the anaesthesiologist, due to complex inter-actions between the disease, drugs to treat the disease, and anaesthetic agents, such as neuromuscu-lar blocking agents (NMBAs)."1.51Mitral Valve Replacement with Thymectomy in a Patient with Ocular Myasthenia Gravis: Case Report. ( Chioncel, O; Filipescu, D; Geana, RC; Iliescu, VA; Radu, R; Sorostinean, D; Stefan, M; Stiru, O, 2019)
