How much septal-lateral mitral annular reduction do you get with new ischemic/functional mitral regurgitation annuloplasty rings?
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2010; (1): 117-21, 121.e1-3
Disproportionate reduction of the mitral septal-lateral annular dimension is the goal in the surgical treatment of ischemic or functional mitral regurgitation and avoids the need for ring "downsizing." How much the new annuloplasty rings designed for patients with ischemic/functional mitral regurgitation reduce annular septal-lateral dimension, however, is proprietary information and debated.
