Fig 1 Stages of Gortex custom-made standardized anterior and posterior mitral loops. (A) 15-mm self-made loop for the posterior valve. (B) 25-mm self-made loop for the anterior valve. (C) First stage of the 15-mm self-made loop. (D) First stage of the 25-mm self-made loop. (E) Several loops can be made with one Gortex suture as 15-mm loops alone, 15/25-mm loops, or 25-mm loops according to the lesions of the mitral valve.
