RISMechanism of Incomplete Mitral Leaflet Coaptation—Interaction of Chordal Restraint and Changes in Mitral Leaflet Coaptation Geometry: Insight from In Vitro Validation of the Premise of Force Equilibrium
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Clinically observed incomplete mitral leaflet coaptation was reproduced in vitro by altering the balance of the chordal tethering and chordal coapting force components. Mitral leaflet coaptation ...
