A novel method is described for artificial chordae replacement with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene suture in mitral valve repair procedures. The technique does not involve knots over or beneath the free edge of the mitral valve leaflets. Artificial chords suspend the exact free margin of leaflets as if it were a continuation of the free margin, such that the smooth zone of the coapting area can be preserved. This technique is simple, reproducible, and applicable to both anterior and posterior leaflets. Moreover, the length of the artificial chords can be adjusted rapidly and accurately at the first attempt.
描述了一种在二尖瓣修复手术中用膨体聚四氟乙烯缝线替代人工腱索的新方法。该技术不涉及在二尖瓣叶游离缘上方或下方打结。人工腱索悬吊叶瓣的精确游离缘，就好像它是游离缘的延续，从而可以保留贴合区域的光滑区。该技术简单、可重复，适用于前叶和后叶。此外，人工腱索的长度可以在首次尝试时快速准确地调整。
