Chordal cutting for severely restricted mitral anterior leaflet
Abstract
Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is usually caused by cardiomyopathy. Herein, we present chordal cutting and ring annuloplasty due to severely restricted anterior leaflet. Seventy-seven years old, male patient suffering shortness of breath had the diagnosis of severe mitral regurgitation and coronary artery disease. Preoperative echocardiography showed reduced ejection fraction and severe central
jet due to tethering of secondary chordae. Restricted chordae were resected by transverse aortotomy, saphenous graft bypass was done, and semi-rigid ring was implanted. Postoperative echocardiography showed no residual regurgitation, excellent mobility of anterior leaflet. Chordal cutting seems to be an effective technique to treat functional MR caused by the restriction of anterior leaflet
