In this session from the 2025 London Core Review Cardiothoracic Surgery Course, Dr. Laurent de Kerchove, Head of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery Department at Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc, Belgium, discusses tips and tricks for mitral valve repair (MVr).
He examines various studies, including an analysis of outcomes after mitral repair vs replacement for severe degenerative mitral regurgitation and the safety and durability of repair-oriented surgery in active infective mitral valve endocarditis. He also provides insights into patient selection for sternotomy and robotic MVr. Additionally, Dr. de Kerchove covers tips and tricks for a range of procedures, including MVr, tricuspid valve repair, robotic surgeries, and approaches for specific conditions, such as large P2 prolapse, P3 prolapse, sternotomy for complex MVr, and Barlow with mitral annular calcification.
To experience these extraordinary learning opportunities, register for this year’s annual London Core Review, taking place from May 13-15, 2026.
