Abstract
An anatomic study of 15 hearts has assessed the existing correlations between the mitral annulus and coronary arteries. The circumflex artery is sometimes located very close to the mitral annulus, as close as one millimetre, hence there is a risk of injury during mitral valvular replacement. This risk is especially when coronaries have a prevailing left anatomic position or a balanced coronary system.Entities:
