Superior Left Atrial Roof Approach
An incision is made across the right atrial free wall and con­tinued between the superior vena cava and the right atrial appendage (Fig.10.8a). From there, it is extended across the interatrial septum and the roof of the left atrium passing behind the aortic root towards the commissure between the left coronary cusp and the non-coronary cusp (Fig.10.8b). Although this incision gives good access to the mitral valve (Fig.10.8c), the roof is the weakest part of the left atrium and this tissue can be relatively friable when closing the incision. In addition, the sino-atrial node artery, left main coronary
Horizontal Trans-Septal Bi-Atrial Approach
A horizontal incision is made between the right superior and inferior pulmonary veins across the free wall of the right atrium (Fig.10.9a). The incision is then continued across the interatrial septum through the fossa ovalis and the left atrial free wall (Fig.10.9b). Again, although it offers good access to the mitral and tricuspid valves (Fig.10.9c), it can be dif­cult to close.
Minimal Access Approaches totheMitral Valve
Following general anaesthesia with a single-lumen endo­bronchial tube and placement of external debrillation pads, the patient is positioned supine with slight elevation (30°) of the right chest, using an inated pressure bag (Fig.10.10).
The right femoral artery and vein are exposed through a 3cm groin crease incision and cannulated using a Seldinger technique, supported by 5/0 polypropylene purse strings (Fig. 10.11). The arterial cannula sits in the common iliac artery, whilst the venous 3-stage cannula positioned in the inferior vena cava, right atrium, and superior vena cava, under TOE guidance.
Additional venous drainage can be obtained with a sec­ond venous cannula inserted percutaneously through the right internal jugular vein, especially in patients requiring

of the 30° camera and in the sixth intercostal space in the anterior axillary line for insertion of the pump sucker. Following initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass, an inverted C-shaped incision is made in the pericardium anterior to the right phrenic nerve and access to the heart is facilitated by pericardial and diaphragmatic retraction sutures, as required. An additional 3mm stab incision is placed in the right sec­ond or third intercostal space in the anterior axillary line, through which a Chitwood aortic cross-clamp is inserted. Following aortic cross-clamping, antegrade cardioplegia is delivered through a long 35cm cardioplegia cannula, inserted into the right lateral aspect of the ascending aorta (Fig.10.12).
Alternatively, an endoballoon can be used to occlude the ascending aorta, with an internal channel to deliver ante­grade cardioplegia, which is passed via the femoral artery. In

concomitant tricuspid valve surgery or with an increased body surface area. Vacuum-assisted cardiopulmonary bypass is used with mild hypothermia (32–34°C).
There are a number of minimally invasive incisions described in the literature ranging from a right thoracotomy of vary sizes giving direct access to the mitral valve to a periareolar incision using a completely endoscopic tech­nique. One example is performing a 5–7cm right anterolat­eral thoracotomy in the fourth intercostal space in the submammary fold followed by insertion of a soft tissue retractor. A 10-mm thoracoport is then placed in the right
placed in the coronary sinus under TOE guidance. Carbon dioxide is administered at 4 L/min via the camera port throughout the procedure.
Access to the mitral valve can be obtained through a stan­dard left atriotomy, or right atrial trans-septal approach if tricuspid valve disease is also present. Specialised surgical instruments, including a left atrial retractor, are then used to perform the majority of standard mitral valve surgical tech­niques. De-airing is performed using aortic root suction and by distending the left atrium during closure, with TOE guidance.

Robotic Mitral Valve Surgery
Robotic mitral valve surgery can be performed either as port access surgery with robot assistance using a 3–4 cm right submammary incision, or as a robot-performed totally endo­scopic procedure using a 15mm ‘working port’, placed in the right fourth intercostal space in the anterior axillary line. The robotic camera is placed in the right fourth intercostal space just lateral to the mid-clavicular line. Otherwise, the initial setup for robotic surgery is similar to videoscopic mitral valve surgery with respect to femoral cannulation and antegrade intra-aortic cardioplegia. Following opening of the left atrium, the positions of the left and right robotic instru­ment arms are determined to provide optimal visualisation of the mitral valve. Commonly, the left trocar is placed in the
Robotic mitral valve surgery requires a number of com­ponents, including
• An endoscope, which consists of two parallel cameras,
channelled to each of the operator’s eyes, providing up to
10× magnication in 3D.
• Miniaturised standard surgical instruments, mounted on
long thin shafts, which provide tremor-free movement
through multiple degrees of freedom.
• Bedside unit, with articulating arms that allow the endo-
scope and instruments to be electronically controlled at
the surgeon’s console.
• Surgeon’s console, which comprises of:
– A viewing screen, which provides true 3-D vision with
improved visualisation.
– Two hand controllers, which directly translate the hand
and nger motions of the surgeon to the instruments.
– A series of foot pedals, which allow camera focus,
movement of instrument supports, and electrocautery.

Mitral Valve Disease
FrancisC.Wells

Degenerative mitral valve disease is a common cardiac lesion. Presentation is most commonly in late middle and old age. As the name suggests, it is a result of the wear and tear generated through decades of high-pressure stress on valve leaets malformed to carry the load. This will become clear when the anatomy of the valve is considered.
The left atrioventricular valve, referred to as the Mitral valve (the sixteenth century anatomist, Andreas Vesalius would seem to be the rst person to ascribe the name Mitral to the valve, opining that it appeared to him to be similar to an inverted bishop’s Mitre), is a complex structure. It has a dual function. First, to render unidirectional ow through the left side of the heart and second to support the geometry of the left ventricular cavity through the cardiac cycle. In the case of a failing valve, stenotic or regurgitant, simple exci­sion will result in altered ventricular systolic and diastolic function. Dr. Walter Lillehei rst reported this phenomenon in a seminal paper in 1964 [1]. Complete excision of the valve leaets and their supporting cords resulted in early ventricular failure in spite of a well-functioning replacement valve. Therefore, a key component of either valve recon­struction or replacement is the retention or reconstruction of the sub-valve connections. Mitral valve reconstruction retains the normal force distribution on the leaets and the support of the ventricle. The insertion of a synthetic valve with cordal and papillary muscle retention will alter the alignment in relation to the ventricular wall but this seems not to visibly alter ventricular performance. However, retro­spective data would seem to indicate that valve replacement even with sub-valve preservation results in earlier and worse mortality than in mitral valve repair, particularly in the elderly [2].

Table 11.1 Carpentier functional classication of mitral valve lesions
Type 1: Orice dilatation or leaet perforation Type 2: Excessive leaet motion: elongated and/or ruptured cords and papillary muscles Type 3: Restrictive leaet motion: rheumatic/calcic valve with xed leaets, fused and shortened cords and papillary muscles or functional distortion of LV wall in ischaemic or cardiomyopathic disease sates
This observation and the imperfect solution of prosthetic valve replacement have led to a signicant move towards valve reconstruction. Although the earliest attempts to manage mitral regurgitation included various techniques for valve retention, it really was the seminal work of Professor Alain Carpentier that brought mitral valve repair into the main stream and the gold standard treatment. His methodical approach based upon a structural classication of lesions gave a foundation for decision-making enabling surgeons to discern the most appropriate surgical solution for individual lesion sets [3]. Table 11.1 shows the Carpentier classication.
Type 1 Lesions
Orice dilatation results from traction on the atrioventricular junction by a dilating left ventricle (LV) or left atrium (LA). Primary causes of LV stretch are various forms of cardiomy­opathy. Secondary causes are volume overload as in aortic valve regurgitation or mitral regurgitation. Ischaemic brosis in the ventricular wall can also lead to ventricular dilatation. Infero-basal ischaemia will often lead to brosis in the wall at the origin of the papillary muscles causing their distortion and hence leaet distraction. These secondary causes can be corrected by a number of different approaches which are dealt with in another chapter.

Type 2 Lesions
Type 2 lesions comprise the degenerative group. The mitral valve can be thought of as the lynch pin (a structure, person or thing vital to normal function) within of the left ventricle. As was mentioned in the opening to this chapter, the continu­ous loop of leaets, cords, papillary muscle, and ventricular wall returning to the origin of the leaets at the base of the ventricle at the atrioventricular junction form a support for the ventricular chamber of profound importance. At the end of systole, the valve leaets are bearing very high closing pressures which must be distributed evenly across the valve leaet surfaces. Any interference with this force distribution will cause excess stress loading on the relatively unsupported part of the valve. This is caused by malformations of the components of the valve. Abnormal distribution of papillary
muscles from their normal horseshoe shape will alter load sharing and result in uneven load spread.
Also, deep clefts to the annulus in the mural leaet inter­rupt load sharing and again will cause excess loading per surface area. It is almost the rule that either side of a mural leaet prolapse will be deep clefts with often abnormal pap­illary muscle support; the P2 segment being the most com­mon (Fig.11.1).
The mitral leaets are arbitrarily divided into three parts (Fig.11.2).
The competent mitral valve depends upon an even area of coaptation of leaet commissures of approximately 0.8cm in height (Fig.11.3). Restoration of uniform coaptation of leaets is the bed-rock of mitral valve reconstruction/repair.
Uniform use of the lexicon in mitral valve disease is important for consistent reporting and discussion.

Denitions
Leaet prolapse: Abnormal displacement of the leaet beyond the plane of the valve.
Flail leaet: Wild and/or erratic movement of the leaet
with ruptured cord(s).
Billowing valve: Leaet body has a soft upward curve
beyond the plane of the annulus.
Barlow’s valve: A valve that is signicantly larger than the normal with orice area of up to 40% greater. Leaets have multiple scallops and are thickened with often multiple areas of prolapse.
Myxomatous valve (often associated with a Barlow’s valve): Thickened leaets billowing or prolapsing beyond the plane of the annulus.
Whilst mural leaet prolapse is the most frequent lesion (>60%), aortic and bileaet prolapse are also seen frequently in signicant mitral practices. Of those, central mural leaet prolapse is the most common. Prolapse of this segment is commonly associated with ruptured tendinous cords. This will result in a ail leaet everting into the atrial cavity (Fig.11.4).
Commissural prolapse is the term used (inaccurately by strict denition) to describe the prolapse of anterior–superior or infero-lateral ends of the aortic and mural leaets. The correct use of the term commissure is the location at which two objects meet; in the context of heart valves, in this case the mitral valve, it describes the meeting of the two leaets throughout their length, not, as is commonly thought, as the two ends of the leaets, however the former use of ‘commis­sure’ has irreversibly entered the lexicon.
Aortic and bileaet prolapse are commonly found in Barlow’s disease. This condition is accompanied by a valve
orice up to 40% greater than normal with signicant excess leaet tissue. There are, commonly, multiple deep clefts in the mural leaet and also in the aortic leaet (Fig.11.5).
There are several combinations of lesions of the mitral apparatus that are often found together. Each valve demands individual analysis on preoperative echocardiogram but par­ticularly at operation. The phenomenon of echo ‘drop-out’ may camouage secondary and tertiary lesions. This is when a larger lesion overshadows a lesser one, thereby interrupting the echo return from the secondary lesion. As mentioned ear­lier, the restoration of full and even coaptation is the goal of repair. Therefore, it is important to remedy all lesions found.
Leaet coaptation is eroded by ventricular and/or atrial dilatation resultant upon the dilating effect of increasing vol­ume overload. As coaptation height reduces the base of the left ventricle begins to move outwards further pulling on the atrioventricular junction. If bileaet prolapse progresses, it can give rise to the appearance of the mural leaet arising from the wall of the atrium and not the usual junctional anat­omy. Recently, this has received the term mitral annular dys­junction or M.A.D.Once full coaptation is restored normal motion of the atrioventricular junction is restored with down­ward descent of both leaets into the ventricular chamber at the end of systole.
The modern mitral surgeon has many tools in the surgical toolbox. The most frequently used are listed here and will be discussed and illustrated in the following text.

The choice of surgical procedure depends both upon the lesion and surgeon preference. For example, the prolapsing/ ail mural leaet may be managed with leaet resection, cordal replacement, or by edge-to-edge sutures.
Valve Exposure
Minimal access procedures will be discussed elsewhere. My preferred access is via a mid-line sternotomy with bi-caval cannulation. The heart is arrested with intermittent antegrade cold blood cardioplegia (Fig.11.6). An incision is made pos­terior to the interatrial groove. It is extended superiorly underneath the superior vena cava, and inferiorly underneath the inferior vena cava until the atrial wall turns upon itself superiorly (Fig.11.7).
