1. Fig. 3. Mitral valve reconstruction in a normal subject (A) and in a patient with severe mitral regurgitation due to P2 scallop flail and prolapse and P3 scallop prolapse (B). The parts of the mitral valve which are below the mitral annulus plane (i.e., on the ventricular side) are color-coded in blue, while the parts which are above annulus are coded in red. Of note, the shape of the mitral annulus changes in MR, becoming circular (B), compared to the oval shape of the normal mitral annulus (A). MR: metral regurgitation.
