Abstract: The mitral valve is a complex apparatus with multiple constituents that work cohesively to ensure unidirectional flow between the left atrium and ventricle. Disruption to any or all of the components—the annulus, leaflets, ...

Abstract: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement devices vary in leaflet material and in the height for which leaflets attach to the stented valve frame. Combinations of these features can influence leaflet dynamics, neo-sinus ...

Abstract: Mitral annular calcification (MAC) involves calcium deposition in the fibrous annulus supporting the mitral valve (MV). When calcification extends onto the leaflets, valve opening can be restricted. The influence of MAC ...
