  • Title: Finite element analysis to model complex mitral valve repair.
    Author: Labrosse M, Mesana T, Baxter I, Chan V.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2016 Jan; 24(1):60-2. PubMed ID: 24904177.
    Abstract:
    Although finite element analysis has been used to model simple mitral repair, it has not been used to model complex repair. A virtual mitral valve model was successful in simulating normal and abnormal valve function. Models were then developed to simulate an edge-to-edge repair and repair employing quadrangular resection. Stress contour plots demonstrated increased stresses along the mitral annulus, corresponding to the annuloplasty. The role of finite element analysis in guiding clinical practice remains undetermined.
