Mitral Valve
March 27, 2024
The frequency of minimally invasive mitral valve (MV) surgery has increased over the last decade. Hence, the number of patients requiring MV reoperations post-minimally invasive MV surgery is increasing.

In this session from the 2023 London Core Review Cardiothoracic Surgery Course, Professor Gebrine El Khoury gave his tips and tricks for his method of mitral valve repair.

In this article, the authors evaluated the practice trends and three-year outcomes following transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and surgical repair for degenerative MR in the United States. Medicare and Medicaid data of 53,117 mitral valve interventions for degenerative MR (surgery or TEER) between 2012 and 2019 were analyzed.

The authors used machine learning techniques on twenty-year outcome data from 436 consecutive patients who underwent mitral valve repair over an eighteen-year period. The endpoints were actuarial survival and freedom from moderate or high mitral regurgitation (MR).

Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) is feasible and safe, but its uptake has lagged worldwide. The authors conducted a detailed survey of 75 surgeons, of whom 32 (42 percent) completed the survey. All who completed the survey performed more than 25 MIMVS cases annually.
