Abstract
The iCBA method prevented posterior leaflet tethering, kept the coaptation distance deep on echocardiography, and was associated with lower trends of ring-related complications. Because the posterior side of the annulus was not reconstructed, iCBA is suitable for fibroelastic deficiency, rather than for Barlow's disease.
