Mitral valve replacement with preservation of chordae tendineae and papillary muscles is a well-known technique which has proved beneficial by reducing postoperative left ventricular remodeling and preserving left ventricular function. This advantage has been demonstrated in functional mitral valve

BACKGROUND: The strategy for mitral valve (MV) repair has recently focused on the restoration of the submitral apparatus. However, the relationship between geometric changes of the submitral apparatus and the mitral leaflets has not been systematically investigated. The aim of this study was to dete

OBJECTIVES: Intraoperative assessment of the proper neochordal length during mitral plasty may be complex sometimes. Patient-specific finite element models were used to elucidate the biomechanical drawbacks underlying an apparently correct mitral repair for isolated posterior prolapse.METHODS: Preop
