The aim of this work was the development of an isolated heart setup to delineate the interactions between intraventricular flow features, hemodynamic parameters and mechano-energetics after certain mitral valve therapies. Five porcine hearts were explanted and prepared for (i) edge-to-edge mitral valve repair, (ii) implantation of a rotatable biscupid mechanical valve prosthesis. Flow structures were visualized using echocardiography while hemodynamics was recorded in terms of pressures, flow rates and ventricular volume. Hemodynamic and cardiac mechano-energetics implied a marginal effect (&lt;5%) of alternating leaflet orientation on ventricular pre-load and stroke work. After edge-to-edge repair, substantial variations in flow structures were observed. Beside promoting profound insights into fundamental physiologic mechanisms, the setup may be used for validation of computer aided therapy planning tools.
