摘要
Failure of reconstructive procedures of the mitral valve is often ascribed to diffuse alteration of the subvalvular apparatus, which prevents the utilization of well-established techniques such as chordal transposition or shortening. For this reason, in 1986 after 2 years of animal experiments, we started the clinical use of expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene mitral chordae. Details of the surgical procedure are presented. Our experience is based on 51 patients with a mean follow-up of about 20 months (range 3-57). Four patients had the valve replaced during the same operation: one patient died later of cardiac failure and two underwent reoperation, 8 and 18 months after operation. Forty-one patients are in New York Heart Association Functional Class I and three in Class II. We suggest this technique in association with other traditional procedures to increase the number of mitral valves repaired, mostly because of degenerative etiology.
