ABSTRACT

When mitral valve repair is not the best option to surgically treat functional mitral regurgitation, the prosthetic replacement becomes particularly important. However, the technique used for this effect is slightly different from the conventional one. Preserving ventricular function as much as possible is of paramount importance. We present herein the surgical technique step by step to preserve both anterior and posterior subvalvular structures of the mitral valve.
