Surgical edge-to-edge mitral valve repair combined with annuloplasty provides excellent long-term durability and valve function, particularly for patients with Barlow's disease.
Sideris et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Degenerative mitral regurgitation (n=152). Edge-to-edge mitral valve repair combined with annuloplasty was evaluated on Overall survival after 10 years. Edge-to-edge mitral valve repair combined with annuloplasty for degenerative mitral regurgitation yielded an overall survival of 73.7% and a valve-related reoperation incidence of 8.4% at 10 years.
