Article Synopsis
- Severe mitral regurgitation (MR) is a serious heart condition that can have dangerous outcomes, and the MitraClip (MC) procedure is a key intervention that connects mitral valve leaflets but has variable results.
- Researchers propose using artificial intelligence (AI) to help cardiologists select the best scenarios for MC implantation by creating an atlas of valve shapes and scenarios.
- The study generated detailed geometric data from 3D echo images, literature, and machine learning, and used finite element modeling to simulate different MC scenarios, showing that clip location and quantity significantly affect MR and leaflet stress, while aiming to provide quicker AI-based predictions for clinical use.
