"Artificial Chordae in Mitral Valve Surgery" discusses the replacement of mitral valve chordae with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene. The book analyzes the surgical anatomy and significince of the subvalvular apparatus used for ventricular function. Surgical techniques and successful results of experiments on animals are described, as well as a six-year clinical experience in more than one hundred cases. The book also discusses, in regard to the surgeon's requirements, the utilization of intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography before and after the procedure. Illustrations demonstrate the application of artificial chordae associated with mitral valve replacement in case the natural subvalvular apparatus has to be completely removed.
