Popis: The commissures are the supporting unit for the leaflets, and they play a vital role in the diastolic and systolic functioning of the mitral valve. This report describes the “ship technique” of commissural reconstruction in rheumatic mitral stenosis repairs. The technique overcomes gradients that are often encountered with limited commissurotomy and residual leaks observed with extended commissurotomy.
