Self-expanding prosthesis have greater eccentricity and under-expansion. Calcium burden exerts more influence in the final morphology of that type of valve. Calcification and eccentricity are associated with the development of PVR. These factors should be considered in the selection of the most appropriate type of prosthesis for each scenario.
To investigate the role of left atrial volume index (LAVi) in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER).
A B Figure 1. A. "Surgeon's view" showing the mitral valve isolated cleft within the P2 segment (red arrowhead). AV = aortic valve; AMVL = anterior mitral valve leaflet. B. Color Doppler across mitral valve showing a T-shaped regurgitation. AV = aortic valve; AMVL = anterior mitral valve leaflet; PMVL = posterior mitral valve leaflet; LAA = left atrial appendage. 1
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
