Abstract
- 1.1. The anatomic position of the mitral annulus has been demonstrated by dissection studies to be slightly closer to the apex of the heart than is the circumflex coronary artery.
- 2.2. Traumatic mitral insufficiency has been produced in a series of dogs by valvular laceration.
- 3.3. Correction of the altered dynamics has been accomplished by plication of the annulus from the epicardial surface of the left ventricle, without compromising the coronary circulation.
- 4.4. Creation and elimination of the regurgitant jet has been documented by intracardiac palpation and pressure tracings.
- 5.5. The relationship between these results and the treatment of human rheumatic mitral insufficiency has been discussed.
