What Is Annuloplasty?

Total annuloplasty is suitable for cases in which simple mitral regurgitation is caused by full annulus enlargement, but the valve and subvalvular structure are good. Under the general anesthesia cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, after the mitral valve annulus was exposed, the diameter of the annulus was measured first, and a moderate number of Carpentier hard annulus or Shiley-puig polyester grouped annulus was selected for total annuloplasty. ^[1]
