2 Figure 1 A, Preoperative 2-dimensional echocardiographic analysis. Anterior leaflet angulation at the basal chord insertion, mild bulging of the ischemic inferior wall (arrow) with apical tenting relative to the annulus (dashes), and bent anterior leaflet base. B, Perioperative 2-dimensional echocardiographic analysis. Basal chordal cutting (arrow) and improved coaptation (dashes). C, Follow-up 2-dimensional echocardiographic analysis. Normal mitral coaptation at baseline without anterior leaflet bend despite important left ventricular dilatation (arrow). LV, Left ventricle. LA, left atrium.
