In this article, we present our experience with an easy and practical
technique for measuring the length of neo-chordae during minimally
invasive mitral valve repair. This technique is based on tying the knots
at the level of the plane of the ring using a prolene suture passing through
the transverse diameter of the ring as a guideline.
