Abstract:
Since the residual mitral regurgitation after the Dor procedure contributes to increasing postoperative mortality, repair of mitral regurgitation has become one of the essential surgical approaches. We describe two cases of transventricular posterior annuloplasty using a trimmed Duran ring for surgical management of ischemic mitral regurgitation performed with the Dor procedure. This procedure is easy to perform and provides secure annuloplasty because the mitral annulus can be easily exposed through the same ventriculotomy incision.
