An important cause of HF is mitral valve regurgitation (MR), which induces left ventricular remodeling and volume overload. For HF research, a reproducible and reliable large animal model is crucial. Several MR models have been developed, but they often show high variability in MR severity and MR jet characteristics, as well as an underlying ischemic cardiomyopathy, which may increase the risk of complications during follow-up. We present a straightforward and uniform porcine model of primary MR-induced HF. A custom-made retractor was used to induce severe and uniform MR by chordal rupture. After four weeks, severe MR led to significant left ventricular remodeling compared to the sham group, with a significant increase in left ventricular end-diastolic (+34.5\u2009\u00b1\u20096.8\u00a0ml vs. +8.4\u2009\u00b1\u20095.3\u00a0ml,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.023) and end-systolic volume (+29.9\u2009\u00b1\u20094.0\u00a0ml vs. +4.2\u2009\u00b1\u20092.9\u00a0ml,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.001), a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (-11.9\u2009\u00b1\u20091.9% vs. -0.7\u2009\u00b1\u20090.9%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and fractional shortening (-12.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.3% vs. -2.2\u2009\u00b1\u20090.8%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and a higher amount of left ventricular fibrosis (12.6\u2009\u00b1\u20091.0% vs. 6.4\u2009\u00b1\u20090.9%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.001). This porcine model allows a straightforward and reproducible induction of primary MR-induced HF, with a high success rate. It could be valuable in basic research to study the underlying pathophysiology and in translational research to develop novel diagnostics and therapeutics targeting volume-overload induced HF and\/or primary MR.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-026-43623-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,14]],"date-time":"2026-03-14T07:45:11Z","timestamp":1773474311000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A new technique inducing mitral valve regurgitation as an experimental porcine model of volume-overload induced heart failure"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8714-4530","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sven L.","family":"Van Laer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Goovaerts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steven","family":"Laga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michiel R.
