The Carpentier joint, also known as the Carpentier-Edwards joint, is a type of biologically derived joint used in reconstructive heart surgery, particularly in procedures involving the heart valves. It is typically used in the context of mitral valve repair. The joint provides a means of reattaching or supporting the valve leaflets while allowing for natural movement and function of the heart valves.
