Beating heart mitral valve repair with neochordae implantation: real-time monitoring of haemodynamic recovery

Andrea Colli et al. Eur J Cardiothorac Surg. .

Abstract

Transapical off-pump mitral valve repair with neochord implantation has been approved for patients presenting with severe mitral regurgitation due to leaflet prolapse or flail. The procedure is performed under real-time 2D and 3D transoesophageal echocardiography for both implantation and neochordae tension adjustment allowing real-time monitoring of haemodynamic recovery.

Keywords: Minimally invasive; Mitral repair; Transoesophageal echocardiography.
