Effect of concurrent mitral valve surgery for secondary mitral regurgitation upon mortality after aortic valve replacement or coronary artery bypass surgery [PDF]
ObjectivesIt is uncertain whether concurrent mitral valve repair or replacement for moderate or greater secondary mitral regurgitation at the time of coronary artery bypass graft or aortic valve replacement surgery improves long-term survival ...

Mitral Valve Repair: Optimal Annual Case Volume for Surgery. [PDF]
Background: Despite strong recommendations from multiple societies to pursue durable mitral valve repair (MVr), repair rates and outcomes remain inconsistent across the world. This is partly due to limited surgeon and center experience and lack of centralization of care for this technically challenging operation.

Longitudinal Outcomes Following Mitral Valve Repair for Infective Endocarditis [PDF]
Mitral valve repair is the ideal approach in managing mitral valve infective endocarditis for patients requiring surgery. However, viable repair is influenced by the extent of valve destruction and there can be technical challenges in reconstruction ...

Mitral valve surgery for mitral regurgitation caused by Libman-Sacks endocarditis: a report of four cases and a systematic review of the literature [PDF]
Libman-Sacks endocarditis of the mitral valve was first described by Libman and Sacks in 1924. Currently, the sterile verrucous vegetative lesions seen in Libman-Sacks endocarditis are regarded as a cardiac manifestation of both systemic lupus ...
