(A) Operative technique. The pledgetted annuloplasty suture is started at the anteroseptal commissure and sewn intermittently in clockwise direction in the junction between the annulus and the right ventricle along the anterior and posterior leaflets. (AVN = atrioventricular node; CS = coronary sinus). (B) Operative technique (continued). The annuloplasty suture finishes just beyond the posteroseptal commissure where a pledget is applied. The suture is then reversed in counterclockwise direction 1 to 2 mm external to the first row attempting to alternate suture technique ending at the original pledget. The suture is now tied over a Hegar dilator.
