Abstract:
Mitral annular reconstruction using a pericardial patch was performed in 3 cases of atrioventricular disruption. This technique may be useful for atrioventricular disruption in cases of active endocarditis, redo valve replacement, left ventricular rupture after mitral valve replacement, and annular calcification.
