Anterior leaflet resection of the mitral valve

Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2004 Summer;16(2):188-93. doi: 10.1053/j.semtcvs.2004.03.003.

Abstract

Triangular resection is a reconstructive option for treatment of anterior leaflet mitral disease with segmental prolapse. In our experience, it is a safe and reproducible technique, associated with low rates of recurrent MR or need for reoperation, as well as decreased likelihood for systolic anterior motion after mitral repair. We review our experience with this technique over a 25-year experience with mitral valve reconstruction.
