Abstract
The main reason for common atrioventricular valve regurgitation is the enlargement of the valve annulus contralaterally to the aorta and pulmonary artery. Edge-to-edge repair can be used to address the regurgitation; however, there might be potential disadvantage that a fixed bridging leaflet could have a restrictive motion, leading to recurrence of atrioventricular valve regurgitation. To avoid this issue and address the anteroposterior dilatation of the annulus, we have developed an adjustable annular bridging technique.
期刊介绍:
Operative Techniques in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery provides richly illustrated articles on techniques in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery written by renowned surgeons. Each issue presents cardiothoracic topics in adult cardiac, congenital, and general thoracic surgery. Each specialty of interest to the thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon is explored through two different approaches to a specific surgical challenge. Each article is thoroughly illustrated with original line drawings, actual intraoperative photos, and supporting tables and graphs.
