Current Concepts in Mitral Valve Repair for Degenerative Disease
David H. Adams, Ani Anyanwu, Parwis B. Rahmanian, Farzan Filsoufi
Mitral valve repair remains an underutilized technique for patients with degenerative mitral valve disease. A clear understanding of pathological anatomy and dysfunction helps the referring cardiologist and surgeon define the likelihood of repair for a given patient with mitral valve disease. With currently available surgical techniques, the majority of degenerative mitral valve patients should enjoy the benefits of a valve repair if referred appropriately. Patients referred in a timely fashion that receive a mitral valve repair can expect to enjoy a normal survival in line with the general population.
