Abstract:
To study the three-dimensional size, shape, and motion of the mitral leaflets and annulus, we surgically attached radiopaque markers to sites on the mitral annulus and leaflets in seven sheep. After 8 days of recovery, the animals were sedated, and three-dimensional marker positions were measured by computer analysis of biplane videofluorograms (60/s). We found that the oval mitral annulus became most elliptical in middiastole. Both leaflets began to descend into the left ventricle (LV) during the rapid fall of LV pressure (LVP), before leaflet edge separation. The anterior leaflet exhibited a

Edge-to-edge repair for mitral valve regurgitation is being increasingly performed in high-surgical risk patients using minimally invasive mitral clipping devices.

Hence, it is important to quantitatively evaluate the effect of edge-to-edge repair on chordal integrity. in this study, we employ a computational mitral valve model to simulate functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) by creating papillary muscle displacement.

Abstract:
The mitral valve prolapse is characterized by the degeneration of the valve leaflets, accompanied by their thickening, increasing surface area and flexibility. The mitral valves leaflets bulge (prolapse) beyond the plane of the atrioventricular ring into the left atrium during ventricular systole and lose the ability to close tightly, leading to the mitral regurgitation. Acute chord rupture of the mitral valve posterior leaflet is a rare but important cause of severe mitral regurgitation and the development of acute or progressive chronic heart failure.

Mitral valve repair has been one of the widely used applications of robotic surgery. Patients with rheumatic mitral disease usually present at an early age with thickening, retraction, or fusion of the leaflets and subvalvular apparatus. Robotic mitral repair can be feasible among this group of patients, rather than replacement. Herein, we describe a young woman who presented with rheumatic mitral valve insufficiency.

The anterior leaflet of the mitral valve (MV), viewed traditionally as a passive membrane, is shown to be a highly active structure in the beating heart. Two types of leaflet contractile activity are demonstrated: 1) a brief twitch at the beginning of each beat (reflecting contraction of myocytes in the leaflet in communication with and excited by left atrial muscle) that is relaxed by midsystole and whose contractile activity is eliminated with β-receptor blockade and 2) sustained tone during isovolumic relaxation, insensitive to β-blockade, but doubled by stimulation of the neurally rich reg

Mitral valve (MV) disease is responsible for approximately 2,581 deaths and 41,000 hospital discharges each year in the US. Mitral regurgitation (MR), retrograde blood from through the MV, is often an indicator of MV disease. Surgical repair of MVs is preferred over replacement, as it is correlated with better patient quality of life. However, replacement rates are still near 40% because MV surgical repair expertise is not spread across all hospitals. In addition, 15-80% of surgical repair patients have recurrent MR within 10 years. Quantitative patient-specific models could aid these issues b

The arterial valves guarding the entrances to the aorta and pulmonary trunk have many similarities to the mitral and tricuspid valves in the atrioventricular region of the heart. Despite these similarities, there are significant differences in the formation and structure of the arterial and atrioventricular valves. The most fundamental of these relate to the lineage origins of the cells forming the primitive cushions. Although the fate of the different lineages remains unclear, each makes a permanent contribution to the mature valve. Arterial valve formation is intrinsically linked to cushion

The mitral valve annulus is an anatomical structure joining the leaflets and left ventricle wall.

Mitral annulus supports leaflets in the valve coaptation and controls inflow hemodynamics during a cardiac cycle. When the mitral valve is fully open during diastole, inflow drag force on the leaflets and chordae pulls the leaflets approximately apically. As mitral valve leaflets coaptate during systole

The mitral valve (MV), located between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart, is responsible for preventing retrograde blood flow by closing during systole. There are two MV leaflets, anterior and posterior. The anterior is the larger of the two and semicircular; the posterior leaflet is more rectangular and can be subdivided into three scallops, the middle scallop being the largest in most human hearts. The two leaflets are anchored to the wall of the left ventricle by the chordae tendinae. The MV annulus forms a complete fibrous ring anchored along the anterior leaflet (1).

Abstract:
Edge-to-edge repair (ETER) was introduced to correct mitral valve (MV) regurgitation and has demonstrated efficacy in a spectrum of MV diseases [1], especially MV prolapse. This technique changes MV geometric configuration by suturing the anterior and posterior leaflets at central or commissural edges (depending on lesion), and consequently alters MV mechanics. MV prolapse is the most common heart valve abnormality in the United States. It is mainly caused by chordal rupture or elongation in which imbalanced chordal lengths protrude MV anterior and/or posterior leaflets. Chordal repair or leaf

Abstract:
The Mitral Valve (MV) is the left atrioventricular valve that controls blood flow between the left atrium and the left ventricle (Fig 1A-B). It has four main components: (i) the mitral annulus – a fibromuscular ring at the base of the left atrium and the ventricle; (ii) two collagenous planar leaflets – anterior and posterior; (iii) web of chordae tendineae – classified into primary (inserting at the free edge of the leaflet), secondary (inserting into the base of the leaflet), tertiary (inserting into the annulus); and (iv) two papillary muscles that are part of the left ventricle.

Abstract:
Mitral valve (MV) disease affects millions worldwide. An important goal of present-day heart valve research is to create bioengineered tissue valves to replace diseased mitral valves, if it is judged that mitral repair will not be durable. The design of such valves will pivot on understanding the stresses acting in the native MV leaflets to design a bioprosthesis which will withstand these stresses. In order to quantify such stresses in vivo, we utilized radiopaque marker technology and performed an “inverse” finite element analysis of the resulting 4-D data to determine the material propertie

Abstract:
Annulus dilation is one of the main causes of functional mitral regurgitation. Although the annulus dilation is usually accompanied by left ventricle dilation and dysfunction, the mechanical relation between them is not fully elucidated yet. In this paper, the assumption is made that the ventricular dysfunction increases the cyclic loading conditions on the mitral valve apparatus. This effect may cause fatigue and weaken the tissue. This hypothesis is investigated in vitro by applying increased cyclic loadings to the tissue and evaluating the tissue stiffness during the cycles. The results of

Abstract:
Long before mitral valve replacement (MVR) became a routine operation, physiologic studies indicated that the continuity of mitral leaflets with papillary muscles, chordae tendineae (CT) and the atrioventricular ring may play a decisive role in the function of the left ventricle (LV) [1]. This led Lillehei et al. [2] to establish a procedure whereby the posterior leaflet, its CT and papillary muscles were preserved in MVRs. These and other studies indicated a significant reduction of postoperative mortality compared to conventional MVR. Though developed in the early 1960s by Lillehei, the tech
