Mechanical effects of MitraClip on leaflet stress and myocardial strain in functional mitral regurgitation – A finite element modeling study
PURPOSE: MitraClip is the sole percutaneous device approved for functional mitral regurgitation (MR; FMR) but MR recurs in over one third of patients. As device-induced mechanical effects are a potential cause for MR recurrence, we tested the hypothesis that MitraClip increases leaflet stress and pr...
