VACCARINO, GUILLERMO N. et al. Experience with Premeasured Chordal Loops for Mitral Valve Repair: A Uselful and Reproducible Technique?. Rev. argent. cardiol. [online]. 2019, vol.87, n.3, pp.225-228.  Epub 01-Maio-2019. ISSN 1850-3748.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7775/rac.es.v87.i3.14330.

Background:

Mitral valve repair has demonstrated better outcomes compared with valve replacement for the treatment of degenerative mitral regurgitation.

Objective:

The aim of this study is to show the experience with premeasured expanded polytetrafluoroethylene chordal loops for successful mitral valve repair.

Methods:

Between May and December 2018, 13 patients with severe mitral regurgitation caused by degenerative disease with indication for surgery underwent mitral valve repair at the Hospital Universitario Austral.

Results:

The procedure was successful in the 13 patients. Chordal loops were applied to the anterior leaflet in 4 patients, to the posterior leaflet in 6 patients and to both anterior and posterior leaflets in 3 patients.
