ABSTRACT
In patients with ischemic left ventricular dysfunction and functional mitral regurgitation, the surgical treatment of the mitral insufficiency remains a challenging issue. Several procedures were described to restore a more normal alignment between the mitral annulus and the laterally displaced papillary muscles. We report a new approach to relocate the displaced papillary toward the mitral annulus and to reduce tethering. This procedure is believed to be technically easy and beneficial in terms of mitral repair.
