Patch enlargement of the posterior mitral leaflet in ischemic regurgitation

Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann. 2002 Sep;10(3):248-50. doi: 10.1177/021849230201000313.

Abstract

We discuss our early experience in 2 patients with a patch enlargement technique for treating chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation due to restricted motion of the posterior mitral leaflet. This technique corrects the restricted motion and offers better coaptation without compromising the mitral orifice.
