Abstract
Mitral valve replacement using an endoscopic approach is an advanced skilled procedure. The purpose of creating the suture map for mitral valve replacement is to allow placement of sutures with the least tissue manipulation. The suture map serves as a guide for training purposes and for surgeons who are at an early stage of endoscopic surgery.
