Abstract

Mitral valve dysfunction is not always amenable to repair, and may necessitate valve replacement. An alternative to standard mechanical and biological prostheses, is the use of homografts. The following manuscript and videos describe our surgical approach to mitral valve replacement with a complete mitral homograft in a cadaveric heart model.
