Mitral Valve Repair for Mitral Regurgitation in Patients With Marfan Syndrome

Background: There is concern about the durability of mitral valve repair (MVr) for mitral regurgitation (MR) in Marfan patients due to limited long-term data. Furthermore, a detailed time course of changes in cardiac function after MVr in Marfan patients has not been reported. We examined repair techniques, postoperative cardiac function, and outcomes of MVr in Marfan patients.
