Evaluation of the Elasticity of the Mitral Valve

Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne

Summary

There is no information in the literature on the mechanobiological characteristics of mitral valve chords in living humans. All examinations were carried out on tissues taken from animals, either from cadavers or from frozen human tissues. The objective is to determine mechanobiological and histological characteristics of the mitral valve chords in living humans, as well as to compare differences in elasticity in different groups (Group A: patients with mitral valve prolapse versus Group B: patients with restrictive ischemic mitral valve).

Official title: Evaluation of the Elasticity of the Mitral Valve Chordae by Uniaxial Traction in the Context of Mitral Valve Regurgitation With a Comparison of the Results: Mitral Valve Prolapse vs Restriction of Mitral Valve Movement
