Key result
Mitral valve repair carries ~18% overall mortality, predicted by ischemic etiology and NYHA class III/IV.
Why the study?
Mitral valve reconstructive techniques have increasingly become a preferential alternative to replacement, warranting evaluation of short-term and long-term outcomes associated with mitral valve repair.

May guide risk stratification by etiology and NYHA class for mitral repair; extends observational survival data but needs randomized validation.
Cohort (n=99)
What are the short-term and long-term outcomes associated with mitral valve repair in patients with mitral regurgitation?
Mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation is associated with a 79% 5-year survival rate, with functional class and etiology being key predictors of outcomes.
Hurley W. Knott (1999) conducted a cohort in Mitral regurgitation (n=99). Mitral valve repair was evaluated on Overall mortality. Mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation was associated with an overall mortality of 18% and a 5-year survival of 79%, with ischemic etiology and NYHA class III/IV predicting mortality.
