Mitral annuloplasty is preferable to mitral replacement for patients with pure mitral insufficiency. This conservative procedure can be applied to those patients with torn or significantly stretched chordae tendineae unrelated to the site of lesions of the chordae tendineae. The 6 recent recent patients were examined by echocardiography pre- and postoperatively. The study of 35 long term follow up patients revealed longevity and safety of this procedure. Echocardiograms document normalization of abnormal mitral motion, reduction of excursion, and diastolic velocity of the leaflets, and decrease in left atrial size. These findings, showing apparent diminution of mitral flow, suggest significant improvement in valve function.
