Mitral valve repair for myxomatous disease can be challenging. This study presents a simple artificial chord technique after annuloplasty for accurate prolapse correction and height adjustment.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Cardiac Valve Repair
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Mitral valve repair is standard for myxomatous valve disease.
  • Artificial chord use for anterior leaflet prolapse height adjustment is complex.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simplified method for artificial chord reconstruction in mitral valve repair.
  • To improve the accuracy of chordal height adjustment for prolapsing anterior leaflets.

Main Methods:

  • A novel technique for artificial chord reconstruction performed after annuloplasty.
  • Focus on easy identification of functional prolapse and precise chordal height adjustment.

Main Results:

  • The described method simplifies the identification of prolapse.
