Abstract
A dilation device is provided for modeling mitral regurgitation in a mitral valve that includes an annular housing surrounding an aperture; a first anterior blade mounted to the housing and defining a substantially straight inner edge adjacent the aperture; and a plurality of posterior blades mounted to the housing and defining a curved inner edge adjacent the aperture, the posterior blades movable to dilate a valve mounted to the blades. An annulus of a valve may be sutured to the blades such that valve is disposed adjacent the aperture, and the dilation device may be actuated to cause the posterior blades to dilate a posterior region of the valve.
