Surgical treatment for mitral valve regurgitation in children by artificial chords
Artificial chord is a mature mitral valve repair technique,especially in adult mitral valve repair.It is still challenging to repair mitral valve in children with artificial chords because the quality of mitral valve is soft and immature.There are some differences in the methods of suture,the choice of suture size and the number of artificial chords.Although the artificial chords could not grow naturally,we found through the long-term research that most children did not have mitral valve restriction or even chords rupture due to itself can compensate through the growth of the flap and papillary muscle.This article summarizes the recent research progress on the treatment of mitral valve insufficiency in children with artificial chords,providing reference for clinical treatment.
