Mitral Valve Repair: Optimal Annual Case Volume for Surgery. [PDF]

open access: yesJACC Adv
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.

Surgery for rheumatic mitral valve disease in sub-saharan African countries: why valve repair is still the best surgical option

open access: yesThe Pan African Medical Journal, 2016
Rheumatic valve disease, a consequence of acute rheumatic fever, remains endemic in developing countries in the sub-Saharan region where it is the leading cause of heart failure and cardiovascular death, involving predominantly a young population.

Mitral valve repair [PDF]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2016
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common valvular heart disease in the Western world. The MR can be either organic (mainly degenerative in Western countries) or functional (secondary to left ventricular remodeling in the context of ischemic or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy).

Minithoracotomy vs Conventional Sternotomy for Mitral Valve Repair: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

open access: yesJournal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2023
Importance The safety and effectiveness of mitral valve repair via thoracoscopically-guided minithoracotomy (minithoracotomy) compared with median sternotomy (sternotomy) in patients with degenerative mitral valve regurgitation is uncertain.

Percutaneous MitraClip Device or Surgical Mitral Valve Repair in Patients With Primary Mitral Regurgitation Who Are Candidates for Surgery: Design and Rationale of the REPAIR MR Trial.

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background The current standard of care for the treatment of patients with primary mitral regurgitation (MR) is surgical mitral valve repair. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair with the MitraClip device provides a less invasive treatment option for ...

Repeat crossclamp after failed initial degenerative mitral valve repair is safe and successfulCentral MessagePerspective

open access: yesJTCVS Open, 2023
Objective: Surgical risk and long-term outcomes when re-crossclamp is required during degenerative mitral valve repair are unknown. We examined the outcomes of patients who required re-crossclamp for mitral valve reintervention.

Mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.

open access: yesEuroIntervention, 2023
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease and, when left untreated, results in reduced quality of life, heart failure, and increased mortality.
