Supports mitral repair preference in degenerative insufficiency; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Does reconstructive plasty surgery improve outcomes compared to prosthetic replacement in patients with mitral valve insufficiency?
This review supports the use of reconstructive mitral valve repair over prosthetic replacement for degenerative and other etiologies of mitral insufficiency.
Vitalie Moscalu (2023) conducted a review in Mitral valve insufficiency of degenerative etiology. Reconstructive plasty surgeries vs. Replacement with prosthetics was evaluated. Reconstructive plasty surgeries for mitral valve insufficiency of degenerative etiology are recommended as effective and sustainable techniques, offering a superior alternative to prosthetic replacement.
