Finite element analysis of annuloplasty and papillary muscle relocation on a patient-specific mitral regurgitation model.
ObjectivesFunctional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is a significant complication of left ventricle (LV) dysfunction associated with poor prognosis and commonly treated by undersized ring annuloplasty.This study aimed to quantitatively simulate the treatment outcomes and mitral valve (MV) biomechanics following ring annulopalsty and papillary muscle re
