AB  - OBJECTIVE: To summarize the early and midterm outcomes of artificial chordae 
      transplant in mitral valve repair. METHODS: A total of 50 patients underwent 
      mitral valve repair with artificial chordae transplant from January 2009 to 
      January 2010 in General Hospital of Shenyang Military Command. Follow-up was 
      conducted on 48 cases (96%) for 3-4 years. RESULTS: No early postoperative 
      mortality occurred. All cases had cardiac function New York Heart Association 
      (NYHA) grade I/II at discharge. Among 48 cases, one died of cerebral infarction 
      after 13 months and the reminder survived and no one underwent reoperation. Among 
      survivors, 45 cases were in cardiac function NYHA grade I and another 2 in grade 
      II. Echocardiography showed that postoperative 3 years left atrial diameter, left 
      ventricular end-diastolic dimension, left ventricular end-systolic dimension and 
      the ratio of regurgitation beam area and left atrial area were significantly 
      smaller than those preoperative ones (39.5% +/- 9.7% vs 5.6% +/- 0.1%, P < 0.01) and 
      left ventricular ejection fraction increased markedly (0.55 +/- 0.06 vs 0.67 +/- 
      0.07, P < 0.01). There was no instance of artificial chordae rupture. CONCLUSION: 
      Gore-Tex artificial chordae transplant is a safe and effective technique in 
      mitral valve repair with excellent early and midterm operative outcomes.
