Anterior Leaflet Mitral Valve Repair: Chordal Transposition and Neochordoplasty
There are a variety of repair strategies that are useful for anterior leaflet prolapse. In this video, we're going to show a technique of single suture PTFE, placed in the tip of the papillary muscle and passed through the free edge, with final height adjustment during saline testing; a functional height adjustment, as opposed to geometric adjustment.

- In this video we review a challenging case of a 48-year-old woman presenting with chest pain. We explore the role of Echo, CT, and MRI imaging, and highlight how surprising and dramatic results led to a diagnosis of a Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm (LVPA). Using excellent intraoperative surgical video, we also explore the best surgical approach to treating LVPA.
