Popis: Intra-operative mitral valve repair failure is a common condition in patients with complex myxomatous disease requiring aortic re-clamping and application of a fast and easy surgical technique to correct the residual imperfection. Herein we describe a reproducible method of artificial chord reconstruction which preserves the previous accomplished acts and allows for accurate chordal length measurement basing on the annuloplasty as the reference level.
