This video presents a repair of a mitral valve in a 73-year-old man with history of PND and one episode of pulmonary edema. The patient suffered from severe eccentric mitral regurgitation due to ruptured chordae and a thickened enlarged P2 segment.

The authors evaluated ventricular function after AR or MR in young patients with regurgitation and preoperative signs of ventricular dysfunction. Results at 18 mos were compared to a normal population. Persistent LV dysfunction was present in 85% after AR+MR and was more common than after either operation alone. Preoperative end-systolic volume pr

Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is a subset of functional mitral regurgitation (MR) that has the potential to impact an increasing number of patients in the future. This is in the context of a worldwide population, which continues to live longer with improved survival after myocardial infarction.

Outcomes of robotic vs nonrobotic cardiac surgery were evaluated using 1:2 propensity score matching of patients in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Operations included valves/septae (10%), coronary arteries (47%), and other. Mean costs were 7.5% higher for robotic cases. Robotic procedures had shorter length of stay (5 vs 6 days), lower mortality
