Recurrent mitral regurgitation due to ruptured ePTFE neochordae after mitral valve repair by the loop technique: a report of case.

چکیده
Mitral valve (MV) repair with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) sutures has proven to simple, versatile, and durable technique for the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation (MR). The ePTFE is known for its strong resistance to tension, and is judged to be unbreakable under physiological condition. The loop technique using premeasured ePTFE neochordae was employed from August 2005 for 290 consecutive MV repair. Among those 290 patients, there was only one case of recurrent MR due to rupture of the ePTFE neochordae. We report a case of intermediate failure of CV-5 ePTFE neochordae due to rupture and its electron microscope views.

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 کاملAcute mitral regurgitation due to ruptured ePTFE neo-chordae.
Chordal replacement with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) sutures has proven to be a simple, versatile, and durable technique for the treatment of prolapsed cusps causing mitral valve regurgitation. ePTFE is known for its strong resistance to tension, and is judged to be unbreakable under physiological conditions. Herein are reported two cases of rupture of synthetic chordae tendineae; ...
متن کاملChordae replacement versus leaflet resection in minimally invasive mitral valve repair.
For many years, the quadrangular resection technique first proposed by Carpentier has become the gold standard for repair of posterior leaflet prolapse of the mitral valve (MV). Although this "resection" technique and its modifications are safe and very effective, they do not respect the anatomy of the MV and the physiological role of the posterior leaflet. Therefore some new techniques, aiming...

BaIlon mitral valvuloplasty and closed mitral valve conunissurotomy were performed in 450 and 127 patients, respectively. Also, 254 patients with severe mitral stenosis were enrolled in a prospective randomized trial comparing the two procedures. Immediately after balloon mitral valvuloplasty, mean left atrial pressure was 11.38±3.54 mmHg, transmitral valve gradient was 1.8±2 mmHg, and mit...
