Chord-X - 4

We describe the successful initial experience with pre-measured chordal loops.
These chordal loops can be used to correct prolapse at any site of the mitral valve.
Available in a variety of sizes, these loops facilitate mitral valve repair while reducing operative time.1

Clinical Evidence

Demonstrated Results with
Chord-X Premeasured Loops1

In an observational, retrospective review of early clinical experience, 17 patients were successfully treated with Chord-X.

 

  • On intraoperative echocardiogram, 16 patients had trivial or no mitral regurgitation, and 1 patient had mild mitral regurgitation.
  • Predischarge echocardiograms confirmed trivial or no mitral regurgitation in 16 patients, while the patient with mild mitral regurgitation on intraoperative echocardiogram had mild to moderate mitral regurgitation.
