That V-shaped device clips the anterior and posterior leaflets together in the area of mitral regurgitation, producing a double orifice mitral valve. That usually takes care of the mitral ...

Mitral valve prolapse occurs when portion(s) of one or both of the mitral valve leaflets or the tissue filaments (”chordae”) that hold these leaflets in place become floppy and allow these leaflet ...

The mitral valve structure is complex. The anterior and posterior leaflets have been anatomically separated into 3 segments each (A1, A2, A3 and P1, P2, P3).

One such technique is edge-to-edge repair, which involves suture of the mitral valve leaflets along their medial edges to form a reduced double-orifice valve. Feldman and colleagues have ...

Current iterations of transcatheter mitral valve repair focus on creating an edge-to-edge repair or a posterior annuloplasty utilizing the coronary sinus. Whether repair is open, minimally ...
