Randomized trial comparing partial versus complete chordal-sparing mitral valve replacement: effects on left ventricular volume and function.
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2002; (4): 707-14
The merits of retaining the subvalvular apparatus during mitral valve replacement for chronic mitral regurgitation have been demonstrated in numerous retrospective clinical investigations but not in a randomized study. In this report we analyzed the early and late effects of complete versus partial chordal preservation on left ventricular mechanics.
