Abstract
Semirigid band annuloplasty for FMR produces significant regional remodeling of leaflet coaptation zones, with region 2 showing the greatest increase in leaflet coaptation length. This regional analysis of annular geometry and leaflet coaptation creates a framework to better understand the mechanisms of surgical success or failure of annuloplasty for FMR.
