What is Mitral Valve Repair?
Mitral valve repair corrects leaflet, chordal and annular causes of regurgitation while preserving the patient's native valve. Repair may use leaflet resection, artificial chords, commissural or cleft work and an annuloplasty ring. Intraoperative transoesophageal echo assesses residual regurgitation, gradient and systolic anterior motion before leaving theatre.
