Considering that the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) suture is slippery on the surface, adequate ligation without laxity should be critically considered, especially in robotic surgery. To resolve this issue, we applied a novel device that controls the length of an ePTFE suture (Chordarizer) for artificial chordae implantation in robotic mitral valve repair. After assessing the mitral valve via the right side of the left atrium, we stitched a CV-4 ePTFE suture to the target papillary muscle. Using a calliper, we measured the length of the artificial chordae and passed the CV-4 through the appropriate Chordarizer. Then, we stitched the CV-4 to the tip of the leaflet from the left ventricle side and tied it using da Vinci arms. Finally, the Chordarizer was peeled away. Chordarizer ensured safe and reliable artificial chordae implantation procedures with robotic mitral surgery, by maintaining the desired CV4 length.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ejcts\/ezaa408","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,21]],"date-time":"2020-10-21T11:20:16Z","timestamp":1603279216000},"page":"189-190","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A
