One case of an unsuccessful repair of a ruptured papillary muscle in the right ventricle secondary to myocardial infarction has been reported. 8 Chiesa et al. 9 described the relief of mitral ...

Researchers modeled the right ventricle (RV) to create a robot replicating right ventricular hemodynamics and biomechanics.

This area increases with progressive apical displacement of the papillary muscles. (B) A large pseudoaneurysm is evident in the posterior wall of the left ventricle.

Chordae are tough string-like chords that attach the papillary muscles to the mitral valve. The papillary muscles are pillar-shaped muscles inside the ventricles.

Preoperative Posteroanterior Film of the Chest (Left) in a Seventy-two-Year-Old Patient with Ruptured Chordae Tendineae after Posteromedial Papillary-Muscle Infarction (the Left Ventricle is ...

Mitral and tricuspid regurgitation mean the heart's mitral and tricuspid valves leak. Read about the causes, treatment, and outlook when both valves leak.

Tricuspid valves are complex structures that allow blood to flow from the upper right chamber of the heart to the ventricle.

Severe mitral insufficiency caused mainly by ruptured papillary muscle, with left ventricle and atrium enlargement, and right coronary artery stenosis were indications for heart surgery. Repair of ...

MIT engineers have developed a robotic replica of the heart's right ventricle, which mimics the beating and blood-pumping action of live hearts.

The mitral valve, also known as the bicuspid valve, helps move blood from the left atrium to the left ventricle. We’ll go over its location, function, and anatomy. You’ll also learn about the ...
