Abstract

The Neochord procedure is a viable option to treat degenerative mitral valve regurgitation in selected patients. Left ventricle reverse remodeling can cause neochord-relative elongation and reprolapse of the treated leaflet, leading to failure. We present a clinical case of extensive ventricle reverse remodeling after neochord implantation and the first-in-man off-pump surgical retensioning of the previously implanted artificial chords.
