The proven solution for chordal replacement and repair—
“The introduction of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) sutures to replace chordae tendineae...increased the probability of MV repair in patients with MR resulting from myxomatous disease of the MV. “ ---- TE David, et al.
“...we developed a nonresectional technique of mitral valve repair in which accurate dynamic adjustment of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) chordal length and annular dimensions is emphasized.” ---- GM Lawrie, et al.
“...expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) has been used as a chordal substitute since 1985, and various reports have been published documenting excellent early and long-term results with this technique.” ---- R Lange, et al.
