The adjustable slipknot technique is a novel procedure for implanting neochordae. The neochorda acts like a lasso. The procedure facilitates accurate assessment of the length of the neochordae. We performed repairs for 30 of 31 (97.7%) patients using this technique. Less than mild residual regurgitation was observed in all patients at hospital discharge.

The adjustable slip-knot technique-a procedure for facilitating repair of the mitral valve prolapse-was first performed and reported by us in 2015. This technique comprises six steps: anchor institution in the papillary muscle, flexible band positioning, saline injection to confirm the prolapsing site, neochorda setting between the anchor and leaflet, fine adjustment of the neochordal length, and knot-fixing to confirm repair. Here, we have described the first case of successful mitral valve repair using the adjustable slip-knot technique in a 51-year-old man with Barlow's disease.

Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of a superior oblique tendon spacer procedure using nonabsorbable adjustable sutures in patients with Brown syndrome.
Methods: This noncomparative interventional case series includes 25 eyes of 25 patients with Brown syndrome. In all patients the superior oblique tendon was exposed; two nonabsorbable polyester sutures were placed 4 mm apart, and the tendon was cut.
