New mitral valve repair techniques, including minimally invasive surgery and anterior leaflet repair, show results equivalent to conventional methods. These advancements expand surgical options for patients with mitral insufficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Cardiac Valve Repair
  • Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery

Background:

  • Mitral valve repair (MVR) via sternotomy is a long-established treatment for mitral insufficiency.
  • Historically, MVR focused on posterior leaflet prolapse.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of novel mitral valve reconstruction (MVR) techniques.
  • Focus on aggressive anterior leaflet repair and minimally invasive surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 1,195 consecutive patients undergoing MVR with ring annuloplasty (1980-2001).
  • Comparison between conventional sternotomy (843 patients) and minimally invasive surgery (352 patients).
  • Assessment of anterior leaflet repair in 374 patients.

Main Results:

  • Overall hospital mortality was 4.7%, with isolated MVR at 1.4%.
  • Minimally invasive surgery showed comparable mortality (1.1%) to conventional sternotomy (1.6%).
  • Five-year freedom from adverse events was similar for anterior leaflet repair versus no anterior leaflet repair, and for minimally invasive versus conventional sternotomy.

Conclusions:

  • Late outcomes of MVR using minimally invasive surgery and anterior leaflet repair are comparable to conventional sternotomy with posterior leaflet repair.
  • These techniques broaden the applicability of mitral valve repair.
  • Evidence supports increased adoption of minimally invasive MVR approaches.
