Excerpt:
“Mitral valve repair is the procedure of choice for correction for type IIIb ischemic mitral regurgitation. The main goal of valve repair is to restore a large surface of coaptation by aggressively reducing the septolateral dimension of the valve with a downsized remodeling (complete, rigid, or semirigid ring) annuloplasty.”
