Simple and Easy Method for Chordal Reconstruction During Mitral Valve Repair

We describe a simple reproducible method for chordal replacement using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sutures during a mitral valve repair. With this technique, fine length adjustments of the new chordae are easy to make and it is possible to tie the two ends of the suture securely without slippag...
