Mitral Valve Posterior Leaflet Reconstruction Using Extracellular Matrix: In Vitro Evaluation

ConclusionsIn thisin vitro model, mitral valve anatomy and function were comparable between the native mitral valve and our new surgical technique for complete reconstruction of the posterior mitral leaflet and associated chordae tendineae. These promising results warrant furtherin vivo evaluation.
