Summary
Transapical off-pump beating-heart neochordae implantation for mitral valve repair is promising. A second transapical procedure can successfully treat intraoperative failure, achieving excellent results.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Medical Devices
- Minimally Invasive Procedures
Background:
- Transapical off-pump beating-heart neochordae implantation is an emerging technique for mitral valve repair.
- While showing promise, early procedural failures requiring reintervention have been reported.
