Annular height-to-commissural width ratio of annulolasty rings in vivo.
Circulation. 2005; (9 Suppl): I423-8
A "saddle-shaped" mitral annulus with an optimal ratio between annular height and commissural diameter may reduce leaflet and chordal stress and is purported to be conserved across mammalian species. Whether annuloplasty rings maintain this relationship is unknown.
