Five-year comparative outcomes of the track technique versus conventional artificial chordae sizing in anterior mitral leaflet repair
In conclusion, the track technique is a safe, effective, and reproducible method for artificial chordae sizing in MVr. It ensures better leaflet coaptation, reduces residual MR, and maintains favorable clinical results over a five-year period.
