  • Title: Biatrial transseptal approach in case of difficult exposure to the mitral valve.
    Author: Deloche A, Acar C, Jebara V, Fabiani JN, Carpentier A.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1990 Aug; 50(2):318-9. PubMed ID: 2383127.
    Abstract:
    The biatrial transseptal approach according to the Dubost technique provides an excellent exposure to the mitral valve. Over a 5-year period (1984 to 1989) we used this approach in 210 patients. We believe that this incision is indicated in the following situations: reoperation on the mitral valve and acute mitral insufficiency with little enlargement of the left atrium.
