There is growing interest in the application of artificial chordae to correct mitral valve regurgitation caused by prolapse. Application of pre-measured artificial chordae facilitates creation of chordae of appropriate length. Herein we illustrate the technique for creation of pre-measured artificial chordae, documenting neo-chordal length and number in 50 patients with anterior leaflet prolapse, highlighting the need for chordae of more than one length in 14% of patients.
人工腱索在纠正二尖瓣脱垂所致二尖瓣反流中的应用正受到越来越多的关注。应用预先测量的人工腱索有助于制作长度合适的腱索。在此,我们阐述制作预先测量的人工腱索的技术,记录50例前叶脱垂患者的新腱索长度和数量,强调14%的患者需要不止一种长度的腱索。
