Mechanism of incomplete mitral leaflet coaptation: Interaction of chordal restraint and changes in mitral leaflet coaptation geometry insight from in vitro validation of the premise of force equilibrium

Clinically observed incomplete mitral leaflet coaptation was reproduced in vitro by altering the balance of the chordal tethering and chordal coapting force components. Mitral leaflet coaptation geometry was distorted by changes of the spatial relations between the papillary muscles and the mitral v...
