Abstract
A method of reversible suture snaring is described for evaluating the final valve seating and positioning before knot tying of valve sutures. This allows for alteration of the operative plan before investing substantial ischemic time in a nonfunctional result. The procedure has been used in 577 consecutive prosthetic valve replacements in the past 5 years. The technique maintains proper seating while the valve is permanently anchored in place.
