Mitral valve repair (MVr) restores leaflets coaptation while preserving the patient's own
valve. The two main techniques are:(a) chordal replacement (“respect approach”), whereby …

The indications for mitral valve repair extend across the entire spectrum of degenerative
mitral valve disease, ranging from fibroelastic degeneration to Barlow's disease …

Abstract Objectives In the Canadian Mitral Research Alliance (CAMRA) Trial CardioLink-2
leaflet resection versus preservation techniques for posterior leaflet prolapse was …

Background The adoption of minimally invasive techniques to perform mitral valve repair
surgery is increasing. This is enhanced by the compelling evidence of satisfactory short-term …

Objectives The optimal technique for repairing posterior mitral valve leaflet prolapse remains
undetermined. We aimed to compare leaflet resection and neochordae implantation in …

OBJECTIVES Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) has evolved over the last 2
decades. The aim of the study was to identify the impact of era and technical improvements …

Background Although predictors of reverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling postmitral valve
repair are critical for guiding perioperative decision‐making, there remains a paucity of …

Surgical mitral valve repair remains the gold standard treatment of mitral regurgitation due to
degenerative disease. Surgery is performed on the quiescent heart; therefore, assessments …

Background Various mitral valve (MV) repair techniques are nowadays in use. Non-
resection techniques, that rely exclusively on Gore-Tex® neochords and annuloplasty, have …

To optimize mitral valve repair outcomes, it is crucial to comprehend the predictors of
functional mitral valve stenosis (FMS), to enhance preoperative assessments, and to adapt …
