Implication

May support native valve preservation when feasible; leaves open durability and applicability beyond this small series.

Key Points

The aim is to discuss surgical management and features of mitral regurgitation caused by ruptured chordae tendineae.
Described surgical cases involving six patients with ruptured chordae tendineae and severe mitral regurgitation.
Anatomical features of the valve and mechanisms of disruption were discussed.
Surgical retention of the natural valves was achieved in six patients.
The study suggests that preserving the natural valve is preferable when feasible.

Intervention

Surgical management with preservation of the natural valve

Outcome

Anatomical features and surgical management

Surgical preservation of the natural mitral valve is feasible in patients with severe mitral regurgitation due to ruptured chordae tendineae.
