We report a mitral repair case in which the use of a combination of different surgical techniques resulted in the necessary correction. A 47-year-old woman underwent surgical intervention to treat severe mitral valve insufficiency due to A1/A2/A3 and P2 prolapsed valve tissue. A combination of quadrangular resection, sliding leaflet, single chordal transposition, "flip-over" leaflet, and ring annuloplasty techniques were applied, and postsurgical correct valve function was documented by results of a left ventricular saline filling test and transesophageal echocardiography control. Complex mitral valve repairing techniques can be combined to reestablish valvular function.}, number={2}, journal={The Heart Surgery Forum}, author={Buklas, Dimitrios and Massetti, Massimo and Saloux, Eric and Neri, Eugenio and LePage, Olivier and Ivascau, Calin and Babatasi, Gerard and Khayat, Andrè}, year={2005}, month={Feb.}, pages={E27-E28} }
