  • Title: The hypoplastic mitral valve. When should a left atrial-left ventricular extracardiac valved conduit be used?
    Author: Corno A, Giannico S, Leibovich S, Mazzera E, Marcelletti C.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1986 Jun; 91(6):848-51. PubMed ID: 3713238.
    Abstract:
    Limited experimental and clinical experience with extracardiac bypass of the mitral valve has been reported. We describe the case history of a 3-year-old child in whom a left atrial-left ventricular valved conduit was successfully used to bypass a severely hypoplastic parachute mitral valve. The potential applications of this unconventional surgical option are reviewed.
