Synthetic sutures are used for mitral valve repair and as synthetic chordae tendinae to resuspend the mitral valve. The sutures soon get covered with connective tissue and work well for long periods. We report the first instance (in the literature) of rupture of a synthetic (PTFE) chordae tendinae. The synthetic suture (PTFE) was associated with calcification.
合成缝线用于二尖瓣修复,并作为合成腱索来重新悬吊二尖瓣。这些缝线很快就会被结缔组织覆盖,并且能长期良好地发挥作用。我们报告了首例(据文献记载)合成(聚四氟乙烯)腱索破裂的病例。该合成缝线(聚四氟乙烯)与钙化有关。
