Impact of different annuloplasty rings on geometry of the mitral annulus with fibroelastic deficiency: the significance of aorto –mitral angle

In conclusion, compared with C-shape bands, full rings may impose less narrowing on aorto–mitral angle, which correlates well with mid-term left atrial reverse remodeling.
