Why the study?
Mitral valve repair surgery has shifted toward leaflet-sparing approaches with synthetic neochordae, facilitating the growth of transapical off-pump mitral valve intervention.

Does transapical off-pump mitral valve intervention with NeoChord implantation improve outcomes in select patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation?
Transapical off-pump mitral valve intervention with NeoChord implantation appears to be a safe and promising minimally invasive strategy for select patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation.
