1 Feasibility and Intermediate Term Outcome of Repair of Prolapsing Anterior Mitral Leaflets With Artificial Chordal Replacement in 152 Patients  Gerald M. Lawrie, MD, Elizabeth A. Earle, JD, Nan R.

2 Fig 1 Details of the surgical technique employed. (A) Number 5 PTFE suture is passed through the basal portion of the papillary muscle in figure of 8 fashion. (B) Each needle is passed through the edge of the leaflet twice, in a rolling fashion towards the center of each pair. The needle can be seen completing this for the medial pair of chordae. (C) Dots are placed to mark the desired final line of leaflet apposition using a marker pen (top). Note also the four annular 2-0 polypropylene stay stitches. (D) The left ventricle is inflated with saline and the chordal length is adjusted. (E) The annular stay stitches are used to simulate the correct annular size during further insufflation and chordal adjustment. (F) The chordae are tied down and the flexible annuloplasty ring is attached with a continuous 2-0 polypropylene suture. The dots and polytetrafluoroethylene knots are now buried in the line of leaflet position.
