Why the study?
Does mitral valve reconstruction with artificial chordae implantation improve mitral regurgitation and symptoms in patients with pure mitral regurgitation due to diffuse leaflet prolapse?
Does mitral valve reconstruction with artificial chordae implantation improve mitral regurgitation and symptoms in patients with pure mitral regurgitation due to diffuse leaflet prolapse?
Mitral valve reconstruction with artificial chordae implantation is a feasible approach for treating pure mitral regurgitation due to diffuse leaflet prolapse, resulting in significant symptomatic and echocardiographic improvement.
