Abstract
The adjustable slipknot technique is a novel procedure for implanting neochordae. The neochorda acts like a lasso. The procedure facilitates accurate assessment of the length of the neochordae. We performed repairs for 30 of 31 (97.7%) patients using this technique. Less than mild residual regurgitation was observed in all patients at hospital discharge.Entities:
