Mitral valvuloplasty is a more suitable surgical procedure than mitral valve replacement in the case of mitral valve degeneration. Quadrangular resection and artificial chordae plantation, considered to be classical procedures, are widely employed in posterior mitral valve prolapse, and have prominent long-term effects during the follow-up. However, is there any difference in mitral valve reconstruction due to completely different surgical methodology and concepts of the two procedures? Every surgeon has his own ideas and preferences for mitral valvuloplasty, and the choice of surgical procedures mostly depends on experience of surgeons. The article generally reviews variances in intraoperative and long-term clinical outcomes of both rectangular excision and artificial chordae plantation in posterior leaflet valvuloplasty, hoping to provide references for clinical decision.
