Mitral-Valve Repair for Mitral-Valve Prolapse

New England Journal of Medicine, 2009
A 55-year-old man presents with a holosystolic murmur of increasing intensity and is given a diagnosis of mitral-valve prolapse with severe mitral regurgitation. He is asymptomatic but has mildly depressed left ventricular function and mild left ventricular enlargement. Mitral-valve repair is recommended.

Mitral valve repair versus mitral valve replacement

Zeitschrift für Kardiologie, 2001
Over the past 40 years mitral valve surgery has changed dramatically. After initial enthusiasm with the introduction of valve prostheses in the 1960s, a renewed interest in repair techniques began in the 1970s with the introduction of annuloplasty rings. These repair techniques revealed that the integrity of the subvalvular apparatus plays an important

Mitral Valve Repair for Mitral Regurgitation

Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2006
We analyzed the results of mitral valve repair in 81 consecutive patients with severe mitral regurgitation. Of these patients, 66.6% had myxomatous degeneration, 11% ischemic disease, 8% chordal rupture, 5% congenital disease, and 3.7% endocarditis. Repair could not be achieved in five patients, and valve replacement was necessary.

Mitral valve repair for mitral insufficiency

European Heart Journal, 1991
Degenerative mitral valve disease has become the major cause of mitral regurgitation in North America; it is incumbent on surgeons to know repair techniques and to document their results. Fortunately, improvements in myocardial protection have been concurrent with the evolution of mitral valve repair in our country.
