Abstract

Aims: Recent annuloplasty ring annuloplasty ring designs to treat functional/ischemic mitral regurgitation (FMR/IMR) include disproportionate downsizing of the septal-lateral (S-L) mitral annular dimension to maximize mitral leaflet coaptation, intending also to reshape the dilated, spherical left ventricle (LV). The study objective was to quantify the effects of different disease-specific FMR/IMR ring types on LV sphericity during acute myocardial ischemia in the beating ovine heart.
