Bench Testing of a New, Semirigid, Saddle-Shaped, Complete Mitral Annuloplasty Ring Designed to Circularize During Transcatheter Mitral Valve-in-Ring Procedures
•A new mitral annuloplasty ring was purpose-built for transcatheter valve-in-ring.•Bench testing confirmed anchoring of transcatheter valves inside the ring.•Balloon filling volumes are provided for several sizes of valve-ring pairs.•Surgeons should consider future intervention when selecting an annuloplasty device.•Heart team collaboration can optimize lifetime management of mitral valve disease.
