Calcified mitral valve annulus: prosthesis insertion

JS Coselli and ES Crawford
Department of Surgery, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX.

We describe a technique for insertion of a mitral valve prosthesis in the presence of a heavily calcified annulus. The valve leaflets are used for securing the prosthesis, and both the anterior and posterior chordae tendineae and papillary muscle complexes are preserved.
