Abstract
- Repair of the anterior mitral leaflet or bi-leaflet prolapse is technically more demanding than repair of the posterior mitral leaflet. Although several techniques have been proposed for the repair of anterior mitral leaflet prolapse during bi-leaflet repair, practical challenges remain, including the determination of the appropriate length for artificial chords. Herein we describe a novel and reproducible technique for bi-leaflet mitral valve repair, including those with extensive anterior mitral leaflet prolapse.
