Three-dimensional geometric comparison of partial and complete flexible mitral annuloplasty rings.
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2001; (4): 665-73
It has previously been shown in sheep that mitral annular physiologic dynamics during the cardiac cycle are abolished by complete ring annuloplasty, but recent clinical studies suggest that flexible partial ring annuloplasty preserves normal mitral annular dynamics.
