  • Intra-operative Assessment of Repair

    The quality of the repair should first be evaluated after tying the ring sutures. Saline is injected into the ventricular cavity through the mitral valve. A symmetrical line of coaptation, parallel to the posterior part of the ring, with a normal ¾ to ¼ ratio of anterior to posterior leaflet within the orifice should be confirmed. An asymmetrical line of coaptation suggests the presence of residua...
