Key result
Modified fixed loop-in-loop technique enables successful mitral valve repair in 3 pediatric patients.
Why the study?
Placing artificial chordae of precise length between the papillary muscle and prolapsed mitral leaflet in the restricted mitral subvalvular space is technically difficult in children.
Does a modified fixed loop-in-loop technique allow successful mitral valve repair in pediatric patients?

The modified fixed loop-in-loop technique is a feasible approach for mitral valve repair with artificial chordae in pediatric patients.
For adults, the standard procedure for mitral valve repair of Carpentier classification type II mitral regurgitation is reconstruction with artificial chordae. In children, placement of artificial chordae of precise length between the papillary muscle and prolapsed mitral leaflet in the restricted mitral subvalvular space is technically difficult. We successfully performed mitral valve repair in 3 pediatric patients using a modified fixed loop-in-loop technique.

Joo et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Carpentier classification type II mitral regurgitation (n=3). Modified fixed loop-in-loop technique was evaluated on Successful mitral valve repair. Mitral valve repair was successfully performed in 3 pediatric patients using a modified fixed loop-in-loop technique.
