May guide repair decisions in complex mitral cases; extends literature synthesis while leaving open needs for prospective validation.
Introduction: Mitral valve (MV) repair is preferred over replacement for its benefits of preservation of ventricular function, lower operative mortality, superior long-term survival, and avoidance of anticoagulation. In this study, we aimed to review the repair techniques of complex MV pathologies and their outcomes.
