Why the study?
Trans-apical beating heart off-pump mitral valve repair is a novel surgical technique for treating mitral regurgitation caused by degenerative flail/prolapse.
Does transapical beating heart mitral valve repair with the NeoChord system safely reduce mitral regurgitation in patients with severe symptomatic degenerative MR?
Does transapical beating heart mitral valve repair with the NeoChord system safely reduce mitral regurgitation in patients with severe symptomatic degenerative MR?
Transapical off-pump mitral valve repair with the NeoChord system is a safe and effective minimally invasive procedure for well-selected patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation.
