Computational modeling of edge-to-edge mitral repair may flag critical suture effects; leaves open clinical translation pending validation.
Andrea Avanzini (2008) studied Mitral valve leaflet prolapse. Edge-to-edge repair (computational modeling) was evaluated on Mitral valve orifice area, transvalvular pressure gradient, stress in leaflets, and stitch tension. A computational procedure using structural finite element analyses and Bernoulli equations was developed to evaluate the effects of edge-to-edge repair parameters on mitral valve function and stress.
