Prognosis for dogs with severe mitral regurgitation is poor with medical therapy alone. Open surgical mitral valve repair consisting of circumferential mitral annuloplasty and artificial chordal replacement confers durability and improved long-term clinical outcome without a need for long-term antithrombotic therapies.

Repair of Mitral-Valve Prolapse
New England Journal of Medicine, 2010To the Editor: In the review article by Verma and Mesana (Dec. 3 issue),1 mitral-valve prolapse is defined as the displacement of some portion of one or both mitral-valve leaflets into the left atrium during systole. This term was introduced in 1966 by Criley et al.2 and has been frequently used as a synonym for “billowing mitral leaflet,” which was ...

An image of mitral valve repair
Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2005Mitral regurgitation is a severe problem of the mitral valve mechanism caused by many factors, including ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy, inflammation, degeneration and others. Regardless of the cause of valve dysfunction, many changes in surgical approach have been undertaken.

Transcatheter mitral valve repair - transcatheter mitral valve annuloplasty
EuroIntervention, 2014Percutaneous mitral valve therapies have emerged as an alternative option for high-risk patients with mitral regurgitation. Multiple technologies and diversified approaches are today under clinical study or in development and they can be categorised based on the anatomically and pathophysiologically addressed target.

Mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2007Mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation is nowadays one of the most common valvular procedures. Different technical modifications were added to the original Carpentier's method, trying to maximise the stability of the results and to reduce the incidence of immediate complications and of late failure of the correction. Survival is good,

Mitral valve repair in ischemic mitral regurgitation
Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2005Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is a common complication after acute myocardial infarction due to annulus dilatation and papillary muscles displacement. In our opinion 3/4 and 4/4 IMR have always to be indicated for MV surgery. In presence of low EF and dilated LV, moderate (2/4) IMR has to be corrected.

Mitral valve repair for traumatic mitral regurgitation
Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2015Mitral valve injury after blunt chest trauma is a rare clinical condition. We describe a case of mitral valve repair for severe mitral regurgitation due to blunt chest trauma 5 years previously. A 22-year-old man was referred to our hospital for surgical correction of severe mitral regurgitation.

Mitral Valve Repair for Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation
Angiology, 2008Our aim was to evaluate midterm results in patients who underwent mitral valve repair (MVR) for ischermic mitral regurgitation (IMR) in our most recent experience. From March 2006 to March 2008, 105 patients underwent MVR for IMR. Mean IMR grade was 2.6 ± 1.1, with 46 patients having ≤2/4 and 59 ≥3/4.

Mitral valve repair into the 1990s
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1992Mitral valvuloplasty has become an increasingly accepted alternative to valve replacement, although the strong learning curve attached to the procedure has deterred many surgeons from adopting it. Since it was developed in the late 1960s by Carpentier, comprehensive valvuloplasty has undergone modifications and additions dictated by the experiences ...

Mitral valve repair for ischemic mitral insufficiency
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1991Over a 5-year period, 1,292 patients had operation on their native mitral valves. Ischemia was the cause of mitral insufficiency in 84 patients (6.5%). Sixty-five patients (77.4%) had mitral valve repair. Mean age was 66 +/- 10 years; 35 patients (53.8%) were women.
