Key result
Artificial chordae for mitral valve repair yield excellent long-term results despite remaining technical challenges and an associated learning curve.
Artificial chordae provide excellent long-term outcomes for mitral valve repair, though technical challenges and a learning curve persist.
Supports mitral repair with artificial chordae in experienced centers; leaves open standardization of techniques to reduce learning curve effects.
The use of artificial chordae for mitral valve repair has increased and result in excellent long-term results. However, a number of technical challenges remain, and there is an associated learning curve with this technique. We review the current status of artificial chordae for mitral valve repair and discuss the latest innovations for this technique.
