          Abstract

          Uma das causas mais freqüentes de prolapso valvar mitral, com conseqüente regurgitação, é a rotura de cordas tendíneas. Várias técnicas têm sido empregadas em tal situação. Entretanto, a substituição valvar mitral tem sido o procedimento mais utilizado. E apresentada uma nova técnica cirúrgica empregada em 4 pacientes com insuficiência valvar mitral severa devido a rotura de cordas tendíneas da cúspide anterior da valva mitral. Um autotransplante de cordas da valva tricúspide para a valva mitral é realizado. Em 2 casos, um retalho é retirado da cúspide anterior da valva tricúspide com cordas tendíneas e parte do músculo papilar correspondente. Nos outros 2 casos a cúspide posterior da valva tricúspide foi retirada, inteiramente, com cordas e músculo papilar. Na primeira variante técnica, a cúspide anterior da valva tricúspide foi reparada e, na segunda, através, da plicatura do anel, a valva tricúspide foi transformada em bicúspide. A peça retirada é transplantada para a valva mitral, sendo suturada a cúspide doadora com a cúspide anterior da valva mitral e o músculo papilar doador com o topo do músculo papilar posterior da valva mitral em 3 casos e com o músculo papilar anterior e 1 caso. Os 4 pacientes foram reestudados clínica e laboratorialmente aos 15, 11, 2 e 1 mês de pós-operatório, respectivamente, com execelente evolução. Apesar da limitada experiência, acreditamos ser esta nova técnica uma boa alternativa para o tratamento cirúrgico da insuficiência mitral por rotura de cordas tendíneas da cúspide anterior.

          One of the most frequent causes of mitral valve prolapse is rupture of the chordae tendineae. Several techniques have been used to correct severe mitral regurgitation. However, mitral valve replacement is the principal surgical approach to it. We describe a technique used in four patients with marked mitral regurgitation due to ruptured chordae tendineae of the anterior leaflet. We have grafted chordae tendineae from the tricuspid valve onto the mitral valve. In the first and fourth case we removed part of the anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve, together with chordae tendineae and part of the papillary muscle. In the other two cases we removed the posterior leaflet, together with its chordae tendinease and papillarly muscle. In the first and fourth cases the tricuspid valve was repaired. In the other two cases it was turned into bicuspid valve by means of an annular plication. The first extremity of the graft to be sutured was the papillary muscle, followed by the leaflet. Studies carried out 15, 11, 2 and 1 month, postoperatively, showed that both valves, i. e., mitral and tricuspid, were competent and the patients were asymptomatic. In spite of our limited experience, we believe, this technique is a sensible alternative to mitral valve replacement.

          Replacement of chordae tendineae with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sutures.

          One or more primary chordae tendineae of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve was replaced with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sutures in 22 patients as part of mitral valve reconstructive procedure. One patient with flail anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve also had replacement of chordae tendineae with a PTFE suture. These patients have been followed from 2 to 48 months, mean of 17 months. Valve function has been assessed annually by Doppler echocardiography. The PTFE chordae cannot be visualized by two- dimensional echocardiography but they seem to allow the leaflet to move normally during the cardiac cycle. The function of the repaired valve in these 23 patients has remained most satisfactory during the observed interval. We believe that PTFE sutures can be used safely to replace diseased chordae tendineae of the mitral and tricuspid valves when conventional techniques of chordal repair are not possible.
