The mitral valve is located near the interatrial groove. As we accumulated experience and learned from embryology, we found that a more central left atriotomy was advantageous, and was made possible by interatrial groove dissection using an ultrasonic scalpel. This crucial finding prompted us to report the technique.}, pages = {121--123}, title = {Advantage of a More Central Incision onto Left Atrium by Using Ultrasonic Scalpel}, volume = {75}, year = {2013} }
