Mitral Valve Repair on Cardiopulmonary Bypass

---

We have developed significant experience with open heart surgery of the mitral valve in models of heart valve disease. We have an 89% survival in heart failure models with mitral regurgitation. Details of our techniques are described in our recent publication [Sarin EL et al. Comparative Medicine, Swine as a model of postinfarction mitral regurgitation and techniques to accommodate its effects during surgical repair, 2016, 66(4): 290-9]
