Fast Surgical Simulation to Improve Mitral Valve Repair

Mitral valve repair, the preferred method of treating mitral regurgitation, is a demanding surgical procedure consisting of the resection and approximation of valve tissue. Operating on an arrested heart, the clinician is forced to predict closed valve shape and the effect of surgical modifications. The valve's complex morphology makes this a difficult task, and as a result, the procedure is underperformed by less experienced surgeons in lieu of the simpler, less effective valve replacement. / Engineering and Applied Sciences
