    Abstract:
    We report a technique to improve exposure of the mitral valve apparatus. This technique that combines superior left atriotomy and interatrial septotomy can be helpful in patients with a small left atrium and reoperation. It has been used effectively in five patients and potential complication with this procedure has not occurred. The operative technique and indication are discussed in this paper.
