1 Mitral valve procedure in dilated cardiomyopathy: repair or replacement? 
Antonio M Calafiore, MD, Sabina Gallina, MD, Michele Di Mauro, MD, Filoteo Gaeta, MD, Angela L Iacò, MD, Stefano D’Alessandro, MD, Valerio Mazzei, MD, Gabriele Di Giammarco, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 71, Issue 4, Pages (April 2001) DOI: /S (00)

2 Fig 1 Correlation between mitral valve coaptation depth (MVCD) and (A) left ventricular (LV) sphericity index, (B) mitral annulus size (mm/m2), and (C) ejection fraction. Dotted lines represent 95% confidence interval. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

3 Fig 2 Mitral valve coaptation depth in the healthy subject.

4 Fig 3 Perioperative transesophageal echocardiography. (A) Mitral annulus was dilated (25 mm/m2) and (B) severe functional mitral regurgitation was present. Mitral valve coaptation depth was 13 mm. This patient underwent mitral valve repair. (C) Despite reduction annuloplasty (16 mm/m2), moderate functional mitral regurgitation persisted. The patient had a successful mitral valve replacement.
