Second-order chord tethering of the anterior leaflet is a risk factor for failure of posterior leaflet prolapse repair.
We describe two cases of second-order chord tethering of the anterior leaflet associated with severe mitral regurgitation due to prolapse or chordal rupture of the anterior leaflet, causing early and late failure of repair.
We described two cases where this phenomenon happened.
Our cases demonstrate that the second-order chords of the prolapsing AL can be tethered and that this aspect should be carefully evaluated before surgery, as it can progress over time, affecting the results of surgical repair.
前叶二级腱索束缚是后叶脱垂修复失败的一个危险因素。
我们描述了两例因前叶脱垂或腱索断裂导致严重二尖瓣反流并伴有前叶二级腱索束缚的病例,这导致了修复的早期和晚期失败。
我们描述了两例出现这种现象的病例。
我们的病例表明,脱垂前叶的二级腱索可能会被束缚,并且在手术前应仔细评估这一方面,因为它可能会随时间进展,影响手术修复的结果。
