Transapical mitral valve repair with NeoChord implantation is effective and safe to replace ruptured chordae due to degenerative disease. Redo transapical neochordae implantation has never been reported in the literature. We present a case report of a 53-year-old man who underwent a reoperative neochord implantation for recurrent severe mitral regurgitation, resulting from degenerative disease progression with a new native chordal rupture. We report the midterm durability of reoperative Neochord repair.
