Abstract

Mitral valve systolic anterior motion and associated regurgitation remain a challenging problem in mitral valve plasty. A simple procedure to correct intraoperative systolic anterior motion using sutures applied between the tip of the anterior leaflet and the posterior annulus is presented. This technique reduces the movement of the anterior leaflet toward the septum while maintaining sufficient valve orifice area.
