The Technique of Total Mitral Valve Replacement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Total mitral valve replacement was first successfully accomplished by Starr and Edwards (1961) using a ball valve prosthesis. We have adopted their method for patients in whom the pathological changes make it impossible to obtain a mobile anterior mitral leaflet due to calcifications or shortened fused chordae tendineae. This paper describes an instrument that holds the ball valve prosthesis incompetent during its fixation. The holder can be unscrewed and removed before the last stitch in the left atrium is tied.
