May inform preclinical mitral valve models; leaves open human translation without clinical validation.
Endoscopic study of the isolated pig heart provides detailed anatomical and functional insights into the mitral valve, with assumed applicability to human valve reconstruction and replacement.
Rijk-Zwikker et al. (1994) studied Mitral valve anatomy. Endoscopic observation was evaluated on Anatomy and morphology of the native mitral valve. Endoscopic observation of an isolated pig heart detailed annulus motion, valve leaflet function, and chordal anatomy relevant to human mitral valve reconstruction and replacement.
