Should not yet change mitral replacement practice; leaves open need for prospective validation of LVOT and durability outcomes.
Describes a modified bileaflet preserving technique for mitral valve replacement aimed at preventing LVOT obstruction and accommodating larger prostheses.
Erkan Kuralay (2002) studied this question. Modified bileaflet preserving mitral valve replacement technique was evaluated.
