Abstract

We performed mitral valve surgery in 5 patients using the combined superior-transseptal approach to the left atrium. Exposure of the mitral valve was excellent, and postoperative arrhythmias related to the operative procedures were not seen in all patients. The operative technique and indications are discussed in this paper.
