Key result
Echo-guided mitral repair significantly increased overall repair rates compared to unguided historical controls (77.6% vs 46.5%; P<0.001).

May support echo guidance to raise mitral repair rates; leaves open need for randomized confirmation before practice change.

Absolute Event Rate: 77.6% vs 46.5%
p-value: p=<0.001
Echocardiography-guided mitral repair significantly increases the rate of successful repair compared to unguided historical and national controls.
Drake et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Mitral disease (n=237). Echo-guided mitral repair vs. Unguided historical and concomitant national (STS) controls was evaluated on Repair rate (p=<0.001). Echo-guided mitral repair significantly increased overall repair rates compared to unguided historical controls (77.6% vs 46.5%; P<0.001).
