Accepted for publication December 16, 1994.

A technique is described for retaining the entire subvalvular apparatus in an anatomic fashion during mitral valve replacement that has resulted in no ventricular outflow tract obstruction or interference by retained chordal structures with prosthetic valve function in 128 patients.
