What does this research mean for the field?

Surgical edge-to-edge (E2E) repair is a simple and effective strategy for treating a wide range of mitral regurgitation, particularly in minimally-invasive procedures and as a bailout technique, provided it is accompanied by concurrent ring annuloplasty for long-term durability.

Overview

Supports E2E in minimally invasive or bailout mitral repair; leaves open need for randomized durability data.

Structured PICO

Population

Patients with mitral valvulopathy, particularly mitral regurgitation due to bileaflet prolapse with enlarged annular area, or residual mitral regurgitation due to systolic anterior motion (SAM)

Intervention

Surgical edge-to-edge (E2E) or Alfieri repair

Surgical edge-to-edge repair remains a versatile and effective technique for treating mitral regurgitation, especially during minimally-invasive procedures or as a bailout for unsuccessful repairs.
