We have developed a new technique of mitral annuloplasty applicable in patients with rheumatic mitral regurgitation. This technique is designed to advance anteriorly the posterior annulus and leaflet and to gain more coaptation area. Technical details of this procedure are presented. ( J Card Surg 1999;14:270–272 )
