In this retrospective review, the authors evaluate the long-term outcome of 61 patients undergoing edge-to-edge mitral valve repair without annuloplasty ring for degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR). The reasons for not performing annuloplasty were either severe annular calcification or absence of significant annular dilatation.

Hugo Vanermen of the University of Leuven takes an in-depth look at the different options for mitral valve repair, including: quadrangular resection, triangular resection, and the "respect approach."

In this retrospective study, the authors evaluate the effect of preprocedural significant mitral regurgitation (MR) on outcomes of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for sever aortic stenosis. In an overall series of 316 patients, 60 had been diagnosed with significant MR prior to the procedure.

This video demonstrates a novel concept for extensive use of the neochordae in complex settings, such as diffuse bileaflet prolapse. The "Folding Leaflet" technique focuses on the preservation of normal leaflet motion and the creation of a large surface of coaption to remodel the leaflet.

This video presents a summary of the superior septal approach to the mitral valve, and then provides a brief operative demonstration of the exposure technique for the mitral valve.

Destruction of the intervalvular fibrosa (IVF) in infective endocarditis makes radical debridement followed by reconstruction of the IVF as the best treatment available for these patients. Authors describe their techniques in dealing with these extremely challenging cases, and show their results.

The aims of this study were, in patients with MVP undergoing MV repair, to describe the prevalence and characteristics of MAC, to correlate MAC with clinical risk factors, coronary involvement, and aortic valve disease, and to describe prevalence, site, and extension of MAC in fibroelastic deficiency (FED) versus Barlow's disease (BD) and correlate M
