The use of artificial chords for mitral valve prolapse during minimally invasive mitral valve repair (MIMVR) has increased over the past two decades, driven by advancements in surgical techniques and the need for reproducible and durable repair strategies. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of single artificial chords versus premeasured loops and identify predictors for long-term success.
