The Mitral Hooks: Visualization of Mitral Valve Made Easy Suresh Babu Kale, MCh, DNB, Shrikant Dada Kole, MCh  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 83, Issue 1, Pages 324-325 (January 2007) DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2006.03.033 Copyright © 2007 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 1 Photograph showing the anterior and posterior mitral hooks with the obtuse angulation of the anterior and the gentle anterior curve of the posterior mitral hook. Common to both is the distal blunt hook formation to hold the leaflets in an atraumatic fashion and the serrated holding area.

Fig 2 Operative photograph showing the hooks in use to visualize the mitral valve apparatus through a standard left atriotomy. An unobstructed view of the mitral valve leaflets, commissures, and subvalvular apparatus is seen along with good operative space.
