Fig 1 Posterior papillary muscle anatomy. The three heads can be identified: anterior, medial, and posterior. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (00) ) Copyright © 2001 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 2 Chordae arising from the anterior head are anchored to the anterior leaflet, chordae arising from the intermediate head are anchored to the commissural area, and those arising from the posterior head to the posterior leaflet. Elongation of chordae arising from the anterior head is usually the reason for anterior leaflet prolapses.

Fig 3 Surgical techniques of papillary muscle repositioning consists of separating the anterior head from the other heads and taking it down into the left ventricle. To achieve this we make a stitch in the fibrous segment of the anterior head and tie it to the fibrous segment of the posterior head.
