The loop technique is useful for multiple chordal reconstructions in mitral valve repair. Although it is easy to anchor the loop to the tip of the prolapsed leaflet, take-down of the anchored loop is not easy. The devised loop-in-loop technique makes intraoperative adjustment of the neochordae quick and easy. This article describes a straightforward and reproducible method for secure anchoring and, if necessary, take-down of neochordae using the loop-in-loop technique for mitral valve repair.

Modified Fixed Loop-in-Loop Technique in Mitral Valve Repair for Children.

For adults, the standard procedure for mitral valve repair of Carpentier classification type II mitral regurgitation is reconstruction with artificial chordae. In children, placement of artificial chordae of precise length between the papillary muscle and prolapsed mitral leaflet in the restricted mitral subvalvular space is technically difficult. We successfully performed mitral valve repair in 3 pediatric patients using a modified fixed loop-in-loop technique.

Objectives: Surgical mitral valve repair is a possible option for dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease. However, information on surgical results and postoperative echocardiography is limited. This study aimed to verify the stage-specific surgical results of mitral valve repair and postoperative echocardiographic changes for two years following surgery.

Objective: We assessed the long-term outcomes of the loop technique with ring annuloplasty for mitral regurgitation from our > 10-year experience.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 362 patients who underwent the loop technique with ring annuloplasty via median sternotomy or right mini-thoracotomy for mitral regurgitation. The median follow-up duration was 4.
Assessing the Performance of Traveling-salesman based Automated Path Searching (TAPS) on Complex Biomolecular Systems.

Article Synopsis
- Locating the minimum free energy paths (MFEPs) in large biomolecular systems is challenging due to their complexity and the need for prior knowledge of transition mechanisms.
- The Traveling-salesman based Automated Path Searching method (TAPS) has been developed to efficiently identify MFEPs without requiring extensive prior information, and it has shown effectiveness in simpler peptide systems.
- The study showcases TAPS' performance on complex systems, revealing significant findings about transitions in proteins, such as the T4 lysozyme and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase, illustrating its potential as a valuable tool for exploring biomolecular dynamics.
Loop technique with ink-dot marking test: An alternative strategy to the ink test.

Objective: We assessed the long-term outcomes of the loop technique with the ink-dot marking test, an alternative to the ink test for aligning the mitral valve (MV) leaflet height, during MV repair.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 351 patients who underwent MV repair with the loop technique via median sternotomy or right mini-thoracotomy. The ink-dot marking test involves creation of a dotted line between the rough and clear zones in the anterior leaflet and the center of the posterior leaflet by gentian violet.
