Abstract Background and Aim: We present the clinical and pathological findings of a patient
who underwent mitral valve repair, with synthetic chordae, for rheumatic disease 13 years
earlier. Methods: Echocardiographic, pathologic, and histologic examination of a previously
repaired mitral valve using artificial chordae tendinae. Results and Conclusions: Extensive
fibrosis and thickening, consisting of fibroblasts and mature collagen, in time surrounds the
artificial chorda rendering it indistinguishable from its native counterparts on gross …

Abstract
Background and Aim: We present the clinical and pathological findings of a patient who underwent mitral valve repair, with synthetic chordae, for rheumatic disease 13 years earlier. Methods: Echocardiographic, pathologic, and histologic examination of a previously repaired mitral valve using artificial chordae tendinae. Results and Conclusions: Extensive fibrosis and thickening, consisting of fibroblasts and mature collagen, in time surrounds the artificial chorda rendering it indistinguishable from its native counterparts on gross examination and even during echocardiography.
