Ischemia-induced malcoaptation of scallops within the posterior mitral leaflet.
J Heart Valve Dis. 2002; (6): 823-9
The posterior mitral leaflet is divided into a variable number of scallops, and little is known about the role of scallopmalcoaptation in ischemic mitral regurgitation. The study aim was to assess whether acute ischemia in the posterolateral wall of the left ventricle would induce scallop separation that would contribute to mitral regurgitation.
