Mitral Valve Repair for Posterior Middle Segment Prolapse: Triangular Resection
Triangular resection is a simple technique. It's designed to correct prolapse at the margin of the leaflet. As demonstrated in this case, adjusting the width and depth of the triangular resection will allow you to tailor the body of the leaflet to the correct height and deal with myxomatous degeneration that may be present.

- In this video we review a challenging case of a 48-year-old woman presenting with chest pain. We explore the role of Echo, CT, and MRI imaging, and highlight how surprising and dramatic results led to a diagnosis of a Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm (LVPA). Using excellent intraoperative surgical video, we also explore the best surgical approach to treating LVPA.
