  • Title: Partial resection of mitral leaflets during mitral valve replacement.
    Author: Kuralay E.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2010 Aug; 18(4):384-5. PubMed ID: 20719794.
    Abstract:
    Usually, after mitral leaflet tissue is resected, artificial chordae are used to obtain papillary muscle-to-mitral annulus continuity so as to preserve left ventricular performance. A modified technique that does not require resection of the posterior mitral leaflet and permits implantation of an adequate size of prosthesis is described.
