Clinical and Fundamental Aspects of Prosthetics and Translocation of Mitral Valve Chordae

"The method consists of five stages:~1. Measure the required length of the chords~2. Forming loops~3. Fixation of the loop group to the papillary muscles~4. Fixation of chordal loops to the free edge of the valve~5. Annuloplasty with a support ring and a hydraulic test to confirm the absence of prolapse"

"The method consists essentially of three stages:~1. Selection of the secondary chord.~2. Fixation of secondary chords to the free edge of the valve.~3. Annuloplasty support ring and hydraulic test to confirm the absence of prolapse."
