Supports mitral valve repair durability in organic MR; leaves open need for randomized comparisons to replacement.
Costa et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Organic mitral regurgitation (n=133). Mitral valve repair vs. Age- and gender-matched general population was evaluated on Late survival at 10 years. Mitral valve repair for organic mitral regurgitation achieved 84.3% late survival and 84.5% freedom from mitral valve failure at 10 years, with 2.4% early mortality.
