Ten-year experience of chordal replacement with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene in mitral valve repair.
BACKGROUND Mitral valve repair is the procedure of choice to correct mitral regurgitation (MR). Although chordal replacement with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) has been widely accepted to repair anterior mitral prolapse and other difficult situations, the long-term results of the repair and the fate of ePTFE have not been delineated. METHODS AND RESULTS From July 1988 to April 1999...
متن کاملA 25-year study of chordal replacement with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene in mitral valve repair†.
OBJECTIVES This study examines the outcome of mitral valve repair with chordal replacement using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene over the past 25 years. METHODS From July 1988 to February 2013, 224 consecutive patients (mean age 57 years, 34% women) underwent mitral valve repair with chordal replacement using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sutures at our institution. Isolated anterior leaf...
متن کاملHomemade expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene flexible mitral annuloplasty ring.
A homemade mitral annular prosthesis has been developed using expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene material. It is safe in that it avoids the risk of prosthesis wrinkle when stitches are tied. Simultaneously, it is strong enough to prevent future stretching and rupture. This device has been implanted in 60 patients with good and stable results at 42 months of follow-up. Our flexible mitral annular ...
متن کاملManagement of complicated multirecurrent pterygia using multimicroporous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene
AIMS To evaluate the efficiency of multimicroporous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) insertion in complicated multirecurrent pterygia. METHODS A total of 62 eyes from 62 patients with a multirecurrent pterygium associated with symblepharon or motility restriction-related binocular diplopia were recruited. All eyes underwent pterygia excision followed by application of 0.033% mitomyci...
