annuloplasty

In some cases, annuloplasty is required to replace the ring around the valves.

Mitral valve annuloplasty is a surgical technique for the repair of leaking mitral valves.

Leaking valves can be corrected by mitral valve annuloplasty, a common surgical procedure that aims at restoring proper leaflet coaptation.

The term intervertebral disc annuloplasty indicates any procedure aimed at repairing the annulus of a bulging intervertebral disc before it herniates.

The goal of mitral valve annuloplasty is to regain mitral valve competence by restoring the physiological form and function of the normal mitral valve apparatus.

The challenge of mitral valve annuloplasty is to improve the diseased and distorted shape of the mitral valve and to reestablish the physiological configuration, while preserving normal annular dynamics.

Intervertebral disc annuloplasty (IDET): A procedure wherein the disc is heated to 90 C for 15 minutes in an effort to seal the disc and perhaps deaden nerves irritated by the degeneration.

Since it was initially established 40 years ago by Professor Alain Carpentier, mitral valve annuloplasty has been continuously improved and is considered the gold standard for the treatment of most etiologies of mitral valve dysfunction today.
