Mitral valve annuloplasty, artwork C016 / 6522
Mitral valve annuloplasty. Artwork of the coronary sinus, part of a sequence demonstrating the insertion of a stent into this heart blood vessel to correct a faulty mitral valve. This procedure is known as an annuloplasty. The positioning of the coronary sinus on the heart relative to the mitral valve allows the insertion of a stent (a metal rod and mesh) to reinforce the sinus and push the flaps of a leaking mitral valve closer together. For a sequence of images showing this, see images C016/6522 to C016/6527

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate procedure of mitral valve annuloplasty, a surgical technique used to correct a faulty mitral valve. The artwork, labeled C016 / 6522, focuses on the coronary sinus and its role in this delicate operation. The image depicts the insertion of a stent into the coronary sinus, which is positioned strategically relative to the mitral valve. This stent, composed of a metal rod and mesh structure, reinforces the sinus and exerts pressure on the flaps of a leaking mitral valve. By doing so, it effectively brings these flaps closer together. Displayed against a pristine white background, this illustration provides an insightful glimpse into one step of an entire sequence demonstrating this life-saving treatment. It captures both the complexity and precision required in cardiac surgery. With its detailed depiction of blood vessels within our circulatory system and emphasis on cardiology and heart surgery, this artwork serves as an invaluable resource for medical professionals seeking to understand or explain mitral regurgitation or dysfunction.
