Why the study?
Do operative procedures for mitral valve repair modify valve morphology and contribute to the development of systolic anterior motion?
Do operative procedures for mitral valve repair modify valve morphology and contribute to the development of systolic anterior motion?
Postoperative morphological changes, specifically a smaller annular diameter and anterior shift of the coaptation point, contribute to the development of systolic anterior motion after mitral valve repair.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May heighten SAM vigilance during mitral repair planning; leaves open whether morphology-targeted modifications reduce risk.
Manabe et al. (2012) studied this question.
