Mitral valve annuloplasty is a surgical technique for the repair of leaking mitral valves. Due to various factors, the two leaflets normally involved in sealing the mitral valve to retrograde flow may not coapt properly.he goal of mitral valve annuloplasty is to regain mitral valve competence by restoring the physiological form and function of the normal mitral valve apparatus.
Her question focuses on the use of annuloplasty rings to treat leaky heart valves. Regina writes, âHi Adam â Although Iâm 58, I was recently diagnosed with mitral valve regurgitation. My cardiologist thinks I may need surgery in the next year.The disease is categorized as moderate-to-severe.ellâ¦ It makes sense that if the diameter of the valve opening is larger than the extent to which the valve leaflets close, this can be a serious risk to the patient due to heart valve leakage. The picture above shows an actual annuloplasty ring implanted during a heart valve repair.
