Effect of semi-rigid or flexible mitral ring annuloplasty on anterior leaflet three-dimensional geometry.
J Heart Valve Dis. 2008; (2): 149-54
A saddle-shaped mitral annulus may optimize anterior leaflet shape and, in theory, reduce leaflet and chordal stress. Although annuloplasty rings alter native annular height and immobilize the posterior mitral leaflet, their effects on anterior leaflet geometry are unknown.
