An axis-specific mitral annuloplasty ring eliminates mitral regurgitation allowing mitral annular motion in an ovine model

Abstract Introduction Current mitral annuloplasty rings fail to restrict the anteroposterior distance while allowing dynamic mitral annular changes. We designed and manufactured a mitral annuloplasty ring that demonstrated axis-specific, selective flexibility to meet this clinical need. The objectiv...
