Due to its proximity to the mitral valve, the coronary sinus (CS) vessel serves as a conduit for
the deployment and implantation of the percutaneous transvenous mitral annuloplasty …

Bridging veins (BVs) are frequently damaged in traumatic brain injury due to brain-skull
relative motion. These veins, connected to the superior sagittal sinus (SSS), are prone to …

Surgical repair and replacement of mitral valve for functional mitral regurgitation (MR) are
often limited due to high operative mortality. Recently, a new non-surgical intervention …

Recent clinical studies of the percutaneous transvenous mitral annuloplasty (PTMA) devices
have shown a short-term reduction of mitral regurgitation after implantation. However …

Has been studied the possibility of using TiNi alloys with shape memory and
pseudoelasticity as an implantation material for correction of functional mitral regurgitation …

Background The spatial relationship of the coronary sinus–great cardiac vein (CS–GCV) to
free posterior portion of the mitral valve annulus (MVA) and left circumflex coronary artery …

There has been a great deal of interest in percutaneous mitral valve repair techniques in
recent years, with several devices undergoing animal testing and clinical trials …

Mitral regurgitation affects over two million people in the US and can lead to heart failure, so
research is needed to predict, diagnose, and treat this valvular disease. Thus, cardiac …
