rdiogram is the best diagnostic test for mitral valve prolapse. It gives a two-dimensional image of the heart size, position, motion, its chambers, and its valves.

Mitral valve surgery is performed using a median sternotomy and incision of the left atrium (Fitzgerald, 1998). In this technique the chest is easily opened and closed, the entire heart is readily accessible, the excellent visualization of the areas allows for an easy cardiopulmonary bypass. Reoperation can be done using the same approach. A newer technique of minimally invasive mitral valve repair and replacement can be achieved using a ministernotomy, transverse hemisternotomy, parasternal incision, or a minithoracotomy. However, these approaches restrict visualization, the quality of the surgery, effective cardiopulmonary bypass, and sufficient myocardial protection. Video-assisted endoscopic techniques are also being explored in France.

Port-access mitral valve surgery allows valve repair or replacement with full cardiopulmonary bypass, a still heart, and myocardial protection, without a median sternotomy (Fitzger
