摘要
Mitral valve repair techniques are now widely applied in patients with myxomatous valve disease. The use of artificial chords to achieve correct height adjustment of the prolapsing anterior leaflet segment can often be challenging. We describe a simple method of artificial chord reconstruction performed after annuloplasty, which allows for easy identification of functional prolapse and accurate chordal height adjustment.
