Minimal invasive mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation: results of 1339 consecutive patients☆
Key result
Minimal invasive mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation demonstrated a 30-day mortality of 2.4% and a 5-year survival rate of 82.6% (95% CI: 78.9-85.7%).

Seeburger et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Mitral regurgitation (n=1,339). Minimal invasive mitral valve repair was evaluated on Survival at 5 years (95% CI 78.9-85.7). Minimal invasive mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation demonstrated a 30-day mortality of 2.4% and a 5-year survival rate of 82.6% (95% CI: 78.9-85.7%).
