Mitral Valve Repair: The Chordae Tendineae
نویسندگان
چکیده
Repair of the mitral valve is the treatment of choice for mitral valve regurgitation when the anatomy is favorable. It is well known that mitral valve repair enjoys better clinical and functional results than any other type of valve substitute. This fact is beyond doubt regardless of the etiology of the valve lesion and is of particular importance in degenerative diseases.This review analyzes the most important advances in the knowledge of the anatomy, pathophysiology, and chordal function of the mitral valve as well as the different alternatives in the surgical repair and clinical results of the most prevalent diseases of the mitral valve. An attempt has been made to organize the acquired information available in a practical way.

Nonrheumatic Mitral Insufficiency
Twenty patients with mitral insufficiency (MI) due to ruptured chordae tendineae, papillary muscle infarction, or left ventricular enlargement with no organic disease of the mitral valve have been studied during the past 3 years. Nineteen had valve replacement, and one had plastic repair of ruptured chordae tendineae; all have been followed from 6 months to 3 years. Preoperative data were diffe...

Background: Primary intra cardiac tumors are rare. In this article, we present papillary fibroelastoma of mitral valve chordae. Case Presentation: A 35-year old man presented with atypical chest pain and palpitation. Physical examination and electrocardiogram were normal. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a mass of 1015 mm attached to chordae of anteromedial papillary muscle of ...
متن کاملAssessment of ventricular elements of mitral valve by left ventriculography.
In the left ventriculogram in the right anterior oblique projection the plane of the mitral valve is seen in profile and the papillary muscle shadows are outlined. The distance from the middle of the papillary muscles to the plane of the mitral valve during systole was used to assess the average length of the chordae tendineae, and the area of the papillary muscle shadows was measured as an ind...
متن کاملExperiences with the repair of the mitral valve in mitral in competence.
The mitral valve comprises four structures: annulus fibrosus, cusp tissue, chordae tendineae, and papillary muscles. The annulus fibrosus is strong at the base of the aortic cusp, where it forms part of the aortic valve ring, and weak at the base of the mural cusp. From every part of the annulus cusp tissue hangs vertically downwards into the cavity of the left ventricle in the form of a short ...
متن کاملDifferent ways to repair the mitral valve with artificial chordae: a systematic review
Myxomatous mitral regurgitation (type II Carpentier's functional classification) affects about 1-2% of the population. This represents a very common indication for valve surgery resulting in a low percentage of repairs compared to replacement which is actually performed. In the last decades, several methods for mitral valve repair have been developed, to make the surgical feasibility easier, im...
متن کاملDeveloping a Training Tool for Intraoperative Mitral Valve Analysis
The mitral valve is one of the four valves of the human heart. Serving as a passive check valve, a healthy mitral valve permits the flow of oxygenated blood from the left atrium to the left ventricle while preventing backflow. This is accomplished via the mutual collision of the leaflets and the tethering forces of the chordae tendineae (Figure 1). When backflow occurs, the preferred method of ...
