Intraoperative saline injection leak test – a simple method to assess mitral valve repair when a simultaneous aortotomy does not allow pressurization of the left ventricle

eComment: I congratulate the authors for this simple but reproducible technique to test the competency of mitral valve repair during mitral and aortic valve surgery [1]. I also believe that a saline injection leak test also helps in de-airing the left ventricle after the repair and just before closing the atriotomy.
