Annuloplasty rings fashioned from Dacron tube grafts have been used in mitral valve operations at the Texas Heart Institute for the past 3 years. This technique has been applied in 70 consecutive patients, with excellent clinical and echocardiographic results. We have found that annuloplasty rings constructed from transverse sections of knitted Dacron offer the same advantages as other flexible rings at a greatly reduced cost.
