    Abstract:
    We have performed a mitral valve reconstruction on a 31-year-old man who suffered from infective endocarditis four years ago. Severe mitral regurgitation and posterior commissural chordal rupture were noted. The mitral valve was repaired by Carpentier's sliding commissuroplasty and ring annuloplasty. The postoperative course was uneventful, and mitral regurgitation completely disappeared. It appears that Carpentier's sliding commissuroplasty is a superior new reconstructive technique for mitral regurgitation due to commissural chordal rupture.
