Neo-chordae length adjustment in mitral valve repair.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Appropriate length adjustment of neo-chordae using PTFE sutures for mitral valve repair in degenerative valve disease has a crucial impact on both early and late outcomes of the repair. Herein we describe an adjuvant approach to facilitate the length adjustment.

Neochordameter: A New Technology in Mitral Valve Repair
BACKGROUND Mitral valve repair has shown superior results compared to mitral valve replacement in patients with mitral valve prolapse. Using premeasured neochordae (the loop technique) has been proposed for both anterior and posterior leaflet repairs. However, there are two major problems that are usually experienced using this method. One is deciding the length of the neo-chordae, and the othe...
متن کاملCurrent concepts for minimally invasive mitral valve repair
Minimally invasive mitral valve repair is based on several procedural concepts. Recently, three of them have been intensively discussed: aortic occlusion strategy, use of Goretex-Neo-Chordae to repair mitral valve regurgitation and feasibility and efficacy of the minithoracotomy approach in mitral valve treatment of patients after previous cardiac surgery. Twenty years of experience in minimall...

OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to evaluate the safety and performance of the NeoChord DS1000 system (NeoChord, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota). BACKGROUND There is an increasing interest in transcatheter mitral valve (MV) treatment. The NeoChord DS 1000 system enables off-pump beating heart transapical MV repair with implantation of artificial neo-chordae. METHODS Patients with severe ...
متن کاملPapillary fibroelastoma of a mitral valve chordae, presenting with atypical chest pain and palpitation: A case report and the literature
Background: Primary intra cardiac tumors are rare. In this article, we present papillary fibroelastoma of mitral valve chordae. Case Presentation: A 35-year old man presented with atypical chest pain and palpitation. Physical examination and electrocardiogram were normal. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a mass of 1015 mm attached to chordae of anteromedial papillary muscle of ...
متن کاملArtificial chordae for degenerative mitral valve disease: critical analysis of current techniques.
The surgical repair of degenerative mitral valve disease involves a number of technical points of importance. The use of artificial chordae for the repair of degenerative disease has increased as a part of the move from mitral valve replacement to repair of the mitral valve. The use of artificial chordae provides an alternative to the techniques pioneered by Carpentier (including the quadrangul...
