Mitral Valve: Stenosis

2/19/2017

 
Ever wonder what Mitral Valve stenosis looks like? Watch this short video to get an idea.
Notice how stiff the anterior and posterior leaflets are.  Additionally, look at the small opening caused by the thickened leaflets.  Finally, notice how part of the disease process is leaflet fusion which the surgeon points to in the video.
