Fig 1 Intraoperative photograph. The lateral wall of the left ventricle has been excised as well as the apical septum. Mild subendocardial fibroelastosis of the left ventricle is evident. (AC = aortic cannula; IVS = interventricular septum; LV = left ventricular free wall; RV = right ventricular free wall; VC = venous cannula.)

Fig 2 Two-dimentional echocardiogram showing (A) preoperative and (B) postoperative left ventricular diameter at the time of mitral valve closure. (Ao = aorta; IVS = interventricular septum; LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle; MV = mitral valve; PLVW = posterior left ventricular wall.)

Fig 3 (A) Preoperative and (B) postoperative M-mode echocardiographic tracings. (IVS = interventricular septum; LV = left ventricular wall; PLVW = posterior left ventricular wall.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2000 69, 1253-1255DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(00)01157-7)
