Abstract
AbstractModern mitral valve techniques are variable and, mostly, well-validated. However, they are skill dependent, and some lack of standardization, regarding the number and positioning of the cords, or the management of the targeted pathology. We continue the introduction of novel, perhaps more intuitive, aiming to simplify mitral valve repair, while achieving a reproducible result, of which some we have already verified.
