Does mitral valve reconstruction by the Carpentier method improve clinical and echocardiographic outcomes in patients with mitral valve disease?
Mitral valve reconstruction by the Carpentier method provides satisfactory relief of symptoms, restores normal valve function, and is associated with low operative mortality and good long-term survival.
Adebo et al. (1983) conducted a cohort in Mitral valve disease (n=85). Mitral valve reconstruction by the Carpentier method was evaluated on Actuarial survival at five years. Mitral valve reconstruction by the Carpentier method resulted in an operative mortality of 1.2% and a 5-year actuarial survival of 92%.
