[Rupture of the mitral chordae tendinae].

B M Kapita, G Timmermans, C Chalant

    Acta Cardiologica
    |January 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Ruptured chordae tendineae are a significant finding during mitral regurgitation surgery, particularly in pure mitral insufficiency cases. Early surgical intervention is crucial for patients with worsening symptoms not attributable to other conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Cardiac Pathology
    • Valvular Heart Disease

    Context:

    • Ruptured chordae tendineae are a complication of mitral regurgitation.
    • This study investigated the incidence and clinical presentation of ruptured chordae tendineae during mitral regurgitation surgery.

    Purpose:

    • To determine the incidence of ruptured chordae tendineae in patients undergoing surgery for mitral regurgitation.
    • To analyze the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with ruptured chordae tendineae.

    Summary:

    • Twenty-seven cases (9.3%) of ruptured chordae tendineae were identified during mitral regurgitation surgery.
    • The highest incidence (36%) was observed in cases of pure mitral insufficiency.
    • Isolated ruptures occurred in 13 cases; clinical presentation varied, with a more acute evolution noted in isolated cases.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of considering ruptured chordae tendineae in mitral regurgitation.
    • Informs surgical decision-making for pure or predominant mitral regurgitation with clinical worsening.
    • Suggests timely surgical intervention when symptoms are unexplained by other comorbidities.
