Does right thoracotomy increase the risk of mitral valve reoperation? [PDF]
ObjectiveThe study objective was to determine whether a right thoracotomy approach increases the risk of mitral valve reoperation.MethodsBetween January of 1993 and January of 2004, 2469 patients with mitral valve disease underwent 2570 reoperations ...

A heart team’s perspective on interventional mitral valve repair: Percutaneous clip implantation as an important adjunct to a surgical mitral valve program for treatment of high-risk patients [PDF]
ObjectiveSurgical mitral valve repair carries an elevated perioperative risk in the presence of severely reduced ventricular function and relevant comorbidities. We sought to assess the feasibility of catheter-based mitral valve repair using a clip-based
