Novel Mitral Repair Device for the Treatment of Severe Mitral Regurgitation: Preclinical Ovine Acute and Chronic Implantation Model

ConclusionsProof-of-concept of a novel percutaneous mitral repair device has been completed using an ovine P2-flail severe MR model. The device has characteristics that will allow its use in posterior leaflet degenerative disease and functional/secondary MR. Open, minimally invasive, and robotic surgical implantation of the device can also be developed as an alternative to the percutaneous approach.
