May be feasible for selected severe MR patients; leaves open durability and comparative efficacy versus conventional repair.
Cohort (n=144)
Transapical echocardiography-guided mitral valve repair using artificial chordae on a beating heart demonstrates high procedural success (98.6%) for patients with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation.
Colli et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Severe degenerative mitral regurgitation (n=144). Transapical echocardiography-guided mitral valve repair (NeoChord DS1000) was evaluated on Presence of moderate or less MR and freedom from reoperation at 1 year. Transapical echocardiography-guided mitral valve repair using the NeoChord system achieved procedural success in 98.6% of patients with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation.
