Annuloplasty System
Before and after
implant: Atrial view
• Direct reduction of the annular SL dimension based
on posterior leaflet surgical plication
• Small (1 cm, 20%) plication of the posterior annulus
reduces ischemic MR, with durable surgical results

Percutaneous Mitral Valve Replacement:
Role in DMR and FMR may be different
• In DMR, there is something physically wrong with the
valve apparatus
• With the exception of MitraClip, percutaneous repair
technologies apply less to DMR
• Also the use of MitraClip in DMR, may limit future
ability to place a percutaneous replacement valve,
complicating the choice of therapy
• Therefore, percutaneous replacement may become a
viable option earlier in DMR patients
