Long-Term Results of Mitral Valve Repair for Regurgitation Due to Leaflet Prolapse

David et al. (Thu,) conducted a cohort in Mitral regurgitation due to leaflet prolapse (n=1,234). Mitral valve repair was evaluated on Reoperation-free survival at 20 years (95% CI 56.2% to 64.2%). Mitral valve repair for regurgitation due to leaflet prolapse yielded a 20-year reoperation-free survival of 60.4% (95% CI: 56.2%-64.2%), though recurrent MR, TR, and new AF increased over time.
