ABSTRACT
Mitral valve replacement is technically challenging in the context of mitral annular calcification. A new surgical strategy is described that was used in a 71-year-old obese patient, where intraatrial prosthesis insertion and valve fixation into native uncalcified structures were performed without calcium debridement.
