Cardiac Dimensions has secured $53m in a Series E funding round to support its ongoing pivotal trial assessing the company’s ...

the line of coaptation in the mitral valve is destroyed. If the ventricle dilates, if you think about it, the annulus pulls apart and all of a sudden coaptation no longer can occur. Or ...

The mitral valve is the most commonly repaired ... the faulty valve is removed and a new valve is sewn to the annulus of your original valve. The new valve can be a: Yes. Balloon valvuloplasty ...

causing the mitral valve annulus to also dilate and prevent the mitral valve leaflets from properly coapting. There are many causes of left atrial and left ventricular dilation, and the treatment ...

known as primary MR (or “organic” MR), or due to dilation of the mitral valve annulus associated with impaired left ventricular function, known as secondary MR (or “functional” MR).

It is for use in the mitral or tricuspid position. Integral template provides a measured plication of the annulus for predictable, reproducible results. “C” shape of the flexible band allows ...

The consequences of ventricular dilation include dilation of the mitral annulus, apical and lateral displacement of the papillary muscles with tethering of the subvalvular apparatus and mitral ...
