Abstract
The classification selected here is mainly oriented towards the extent of leaflet mobility. Leaflet motion may be normal, excessive, or restrictive and this ought be determined before surgery, on the basis of transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) investigations [11]–[14] (Figs. 1, 2).
