2. Fig 1
Removal of the posterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve, rendering it bicuspid. The specimen (lower) containing the leaflet, chordae tendinae, and the papillary muscle will be transferred to the mitral valve.

5. Fig 4
The graft providing chordae to the anterior and posterior leaflets of the mitral valve. With this technique, rectangular resection of the prolapse of the posterior leaflet is avoided.
