Simple and easy method for chordal reconstruction during mitral valve repair ANNALS OF THORACIC SURGERY Shudo, Y., Taniguchi, K., Takahashi, T., Matsue, H. 2006; 82 (1): 348-349Abstract

With this technique, fine length adjustments of the new chordae are easy to make and it is possible to tie the two ends of the suture securely without slippage.
