Abstract:
We reported a successful transapical beating-heart mitral valve repair in a 78-year-old patient with severe mitral regurgitation with prohibitive surgical risk using the MitralStitch system (Hangzhou DeJin Medtech Co, Ltd, Hangzhou, China), a novel device distinguished by its implanted chordae mimicking the surgical pledgeted suture and the retrievable positioner facilitating leaflet capture. This technology would be a competitive option for high-risk patients with severe mitral regurgitation due to leaflet prolapse.

Mitral Valve Prolapse I: Introduction
Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
