Saddle-Shaped Mitral Valve Annuloplasty Rings Experience Lower Forces Compared With Flat Rings

Abstract: Background-New insight into the 3D dynamic behavior of the mitral valve has prompted a reevaluation of annuloplasty ring designs. Force balance analysis indicates correlation between annulus forces and stresses in leaflets and chords. Improving this stress distribution can intuitively enhance the durability of mitral valve repair. We tested the hypothesis that saddle-shaped annuloplasty rings have superior uniform systolic force distribution compared with a nonuniform force distribution in flat annuloplasty ri… Show more

“…In the present study, the differences between the MV morphology of CKCSs and dogs of other breeds did not include 3D indexes of annular nonplanarity, such as AHCWR or NPA, which have been associated with increased leaflet stress 8, 10. However, leaflets’ spatial configuration, is another fundamental characteristic that potentially minimizes valvular peak stress 8, 19.…”

“…Specifically, the MV of CKCSs was flatter than in dogs of other breeds, having a reduced AnH and reduced leaflet tenting, as demonstrated by reduced TnH, TnA, and nTnV (Figure 2), and, relative to dogs of other breeds, the AAo‐AP Angle of CKCS was greater. The morphology of the MV has an effect on the stress acting on the leaflets and on the tensioning apparatus,8, 9, 10, 11 and therefore an abnormal valvular shape and annular configuration could alter the forces applied on the MV during each cardiac cycle. Although most experimental evidence suggests that annular flattening is the source of increased valvular stress,8, 9, 10, 11 it is implied that this increase in stress is mediated through changes in leaflet geometry.…”

“…They might provide a more favorable and uniform annular force distribution when compared to the flat rings. 25,26 By diminishing mitral leaflet strain and improving leaflet coaptation geometry, saddle-shaped annuloplasty may thus enhance repair durability. Therefore, the mitral valve reconstruction primarily aims at restoring not only a normal valve anatomy but also a normal valve function.…”
