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.

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.
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.

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 ...

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.
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.
