    Nice presentation, i have done this once. I t follows from the superior transeptal approach to the mitral valve. Many suture lines, long clamp times, and a long night for everybody involved….great job….

    Great video. I usually run the mitral sewing cuff to the bovine pericardial patch with a running prolene. Helps speed things up.

    Ist das Kommandoverfahren (1997) die einzig gangbare Option?
    Operation/Dekonstruktion und Rekonstruktion nach euklidischen Geometrien (Die Aortomitral-Länge ist grob umgekehrt proportional zum Aortomitralwinkel (AMA); AMA und Aortomitralvorhang (AMC)-Länge sind signifikant verändert).
    Biotechnik des Schuhmachers: mehr Patch-Material, um den Ein- und Ausfluss des ventrikulären fibrösen Körpers rekonstruieren zu können.
    Devolutive Herzmechanik .
