Supports mitral valve repair durability for anterior prolapse in experienced centers; extends observational data but leaves open need for RCTs.
Cohort (n=49)
Mitral valve repair for anterior leaflet prolapse provides satisfactory long-term survival and freedom from reoperation.
Morimoto et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Mitral regurgitation due to anterior leaflet prolapse (n=49). Mitral valve repair was evaluated on 10-year survival rate. Mitral valve repair for anterior leaflet prolapse demonstrated satisfactory long-term outcomes, with a 10-year survival rate of 95.2% and freedom from reoperation of 95.8%.
