Abstract
In patients with FMR with greater than mild mitral regurgitation, the chords retain normal length, despite LSA and LV enlargement. In patients with PMR with flail P2 scallops, CL elongation of primary chords is associated with larger LSA but not with LV dimensions. This information may have implications for clinical strategies for mitral valve repair surgery, including the submitral approach and percutaneous procedures.
