Figure 7 Acuteeffects of percutaneous mitral annuloplasty in dogs in Study 2. Grouped data for all parameters of mitral regurgitation (MR) severity at baseline and post-device are shown in A (*p < 0.05 vs. baseline). Representative examples of contrast ventriculography (B), MR jet area/left atrial area (C) and proximal isovelocity surface area measurements (D) before and after device placement in a single dog are shown. In B, arrows indicate reflux of contrast into pulmonary veins. ERO = effective regurgitant orifice.
