Abstract

See full text

In annuloplastic surgery, the holder which supports the annuloplasty ring during the suturing of the ring to a heart valve annulus is released from its handle, and reattached for subsequent removal, without rotary or axially compressive stress on the holder. This is accomplished by inserting laterally movable locking tabs from the handle into the holder. The locking tabs are the ends of a Y-shaped clip which translates the axial movement of a locking button on the handle into a transverse holder-engaging movement.
