The various techniques of preserving the chordal apparatus in mitral valve replacement applied in 1,453 cases at a single institution between 1986 and 1994 are described. The techniques include preservation of chordal attachment to the posterior mitral leaflet only and to both leaflets with five different technical variations. The specific advantages and risks of these techniques are demonstrated and discussed. It is concluded, that preservation of the entire subvalvular structures is feasible in almost all cases. Different procedures should be employed according to the variety of mitral disease, in particular with respect to mitral leaflet mobility.
