Why the study?
To develop a preoperative predictor tool using multi-factor echocardiographic and anatomic variables to assess the probability of success with the NeoChord procedure.
Can echocardiographic and anatomic variables predict the probability of mild or less residual mitral regurgitation after NeoChord mitral valve repair in patients with posterior leaflet prolapse/flail?
Can echocardiographic and anatomic variables predict the probability of mild or less residual mitral regurgitation after NeoChord mitral valve repair in patients with posterior leaflet prolapse/flail?
A novel nomogram combining echocardiographic and anatomic variables can help predict the success of ringless mitral valve repair using the NeoChord procedure.
