Fig 1 (A) Schematic representation of the measurements made in the 3 regions of the mitral valve. Representative echocardiographic images of measurements made during (B) diastole and (C) systole. The following measurements were made in (B) diastole: septolateral annular dimension (SLAD; from anterior annulus to posterior annulus, arrows 1 to 3), anterior leaflet length (ALL), and posterior leaflet length (PLL), and in (C) systole: anterior coaptation distance (ACD; from anterior annulus to point in annular-plane overlying coaptation-point), coaptation depth (CD; from annular plane to coaptation-point), anterior coaptation length (ACL), and posterior coaptation length (PCL) (length of leaflet engaged in coaptation calculated by subtraction from diastolic leaflet length). (PCD = posterior coaptation distance.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2012 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 2 Semirigid band annuloplasty was associated with increased coaptation lengths in all regions (a) (p < 0.01). Increased anterior coaptation length was nonuniform between regions, with the greatest increase seen in region 2 (b) (p = 0.01). (A) Anterior; (B) posterior. (□ = preoperative; = postoperative.)
