Simplified intraoperative technique to test mitral valve repair

The success of mitral valve repair for regurgitation or stenosis can largely be determined at the time of operation. Mitral valve repair is tested by creating aortic regurgitation, which fills the left ventricle with systemic aortic perfusion pressure. The competent mitral valve is salvaged and the...
