Why the study?
The authors sought to analyze short-term clinical and echocardiographic results after transapical off-pump mitral valve repair using the NeoChord system.
Does transapical off-pump mitral valve repair with NeoChord implantation improve clinical and echocardiographic outcomes in patients with severe primary mitral regurgitation?
Does transapical off-pump mitral valve repair with NeoChord implantation improve clinical and echocardiographic outcomes in patients with severe primary mitral regurgitation?
Transapical off-pump mitral valve repair with NeoChord implantation is safe and effective for selected patients with severe primary mitral regurgitation, leading to symptomatic improvement and favorable cardiac remodeling.
