The edge-to-edge mitral valve repair technique is a versatile, simple, and reproducible method that yields excellent long-term durability when appropriate patient selection and concomitant annuloplasty are applied.
Supports edge-to-edge repair with annuloplasty for durable MR correction in selected patients; leaves open broader applicability pending randomized trials.
The edge-to-edge technique was introduced into the surgical armamentarium of mitral valve repair in the early 1990s. From the beginning, it appeared to be an attractive approach because of its simplicity, reproducibility and
