Key result
Mitral valve repair with artificial chordae can lead to early failure and recurrent prolapse due to ventricular remodeling, as illustrated by two patient cases.
Why the study?
When artificial chordae are used to correct mitral valve prolapse, ventricular remodeling can lead to recurrent prolapse and valve dysfunction rather than technical failure alone.
Case Report (n=2)
Ventricular remodeling after mitral valve repair with artificial chordae can cause recurrent prolapse and early repair failure, highlighting a non-technical mechanism for recurrent mitral regurgitation.

Alerts to potential early failure after chordal mitral repair; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Moore et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Mitral valve prolapse (n=2). Mitral valve repair with artificial chordae was evaluated on Early failure (recurrent prolapse and valve dysfunction). Mitral valve repair with artificial chordae can lead to early failure and recurrent prolapse due to ventricular remodeling, as illustrated by two patient cases.
