chirurgie valvulaire mitrale
The doctor implants approximately 10 anchors underneath the mitral valve.
****A cable threaded through these anchors**** will be placed under tension to reduce the size of the mitral valve in order to help the leaflets close better.
C'est surtout le mot '' cable '' dont je ne suis pas sûr !
anchors = points d'ancrage ?

un câble fin enfilé à travers ces points d'ancrages
This cable is not there for the purpose of sewing a wound, but to form a sort of lasting ring encircling the base of the mitral valve, to prevent it from expanding too much.
It would make sense to call it "un câble"; adding "un câble fin" would avoid the association with usually much thicker cables.
Another option : "... un cableau enfilé ..."
"... A cable is two or more wires running side by side and bonded, twisted or braided together to form a single assembly. ..."

"... Câble
Un câble désigne à l'origine un gros cordage, un cableau désignant lui un cordage de moindre section. C'est donc comme la corde, un corps long, flexible, résistant, rond, composé de fils tortillés et/ou tressés ensemble appelé Toron. De nos jour on parle de câble lorsque la corde est tressée avec du métal. ..."
