Mitral valve repair is the gold standard1
In patients with an average age of 56 years, mitral valve repair restores the normal survival curve while avoiding the limitations of mechanical valve replacement.
Excess leaflet tissue associated with myxomatous disease
Myxomatous disease is characterized by elongated, thickened leaflets that result in leaflet billowing, annular dilatation, ruptured chords and mitral regurgitation (MR).2
Move instead of remove
The Myxo ETlogix ring moves the posterior leaflet inferiorly thereby reducing the reconstruction required to decrease the posterior leaflet height.3
Mitigate SAM and LVOTO
Extends the posterior leaflet up and away from the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) mitigating systolic anterior motion (SAM) and LVOTO with less leaflet reconstruction.3
