Valve Disease: Asymptomatic Mitral Regurgitation: Does Surgery Save Lives?
David H. Adams, MD and Anelechi C. Anyanwu, MD
Management of asymptomatic patients with severe mitral valve regurgitation is controversial-conservative surveillance and early mitral valve repair have both been advocated as reasonable approaches on the basis of divergent data. A new study by Kang et al. fuels this debate. However, careful assessment of the existing literature can provide insight into the optimal care of this population of patients.
