Fig 1 Schematic illustration of posteriorly translocated supra-annular mitral valve replacement. The posterior section of the mechanical valve cuff is sutured onto the posterior wall of the left atrium (LA), away from the mitral valve (MV) annulus. Care is taken to avoid obstructing the pulmonary vein (PV) orifice.

Fig 4 Correlation between peak transmitral pressure gradient and body surface area. There were no differences in the slopes of the lines for re-replacement cases (dotted lines) and the other cases (solid lines). Closed circles indicated re-replacement cases, X-marks indicated no linear approximation cases, closed triangles indicated the other cases.
