Long-term outcome of mitral valve repair for infective endocarditis.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: In patients with mitral endocarditis, reconstruction of the damaged mitral valve (MV) is still challenging, and its durability remains unknown. We evaluated the long-term outcomes of MV repair for mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients ... Read more...

Commissural autologous pericardial patch repair: a novel technique for active mitral valve endocarditis involving the mitral annulus.

30 Aug 2009 In patients with massive destruction caused by mitral endocarditis, surgical valve repair remains a challenging issue. Although several procedures have previously been introduced, no standard method for complicated lesions has been established. We ... Read more...

False tendon rupture mimicking chorda rupture.

30 Jul 2009 False tendons are fibromuscular intracavitary bands that can mimic pathologic structures such as intraventricular chorda rupture, vegetation, or thrombus. False tendon rupture is a rare echocardiographic finding, reported in only a few case reports. ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Chordae Tendineae'

Definition: The tendinous cords that connect each cusp of the two atrioventricular HEART VALVES to appropriate PAPILLARY MUSCLES in the HEART VENTRICLES, preventing the valves from reversing themselves when the ventricles contract.

Descriptor UI: D002815

Alternative terms: Chordae Tendineae; Tendineae, Chordae;

Allowable Qualifiers: abnormalities; anatomy & histology; cytology; drug effects; embryology; enzymology; growth & development; immunology; injuries; innervation; metabolism; microbiology; parasitology; pathology; physiology; physiopathology; radiation effects; radiography; radionuclide imaging; secretion; surgery; transplantation; ultrastructure; ultrasonography; chemistry; virology;

Tree Number: A07.541.510.240;

Technical Notes: for disease, coord IM with HEART VALVE DISEASES (IM); PAPILLARY MUSCLES is also available but read MeSH definition; false tendons: index PURKINJE FIBERS but see note there
