DOI: 10.1111/jocs.14388
Abstract: Resection (triangular or quadrangular) is considered the gold standard for the treatment of posterior leaflet prolapse and loop implantation a more recent alternative. We aimed to compare the long‐term outcomes of triangular or quadrangular resection… read more here.
