Summary

Mitral valve (MV) repair is the preferred treatment for severe mitral regurgitation (MR), offering accessible, reproducible, and long-lasting results. This review explores the evolution of MV repair techniques from historical methods to modern percutaneous approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Medical Device Development

Background:

  • Severe mitral regurgitation (MR) often necessitates intervention.
  • Mitral valve (MV) repair is increasingly favored over replacement for MR.
  • Established surgical techniques provide excellent long-term outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To chronologically review the development of mitral valve repair techniques.
  • To examine the origins and evolution of various MV disease treatments.
  • To discuss historical debates surrounding different MV repair approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of historical and contemporary MV repair strategies.
  • Analysis of the progression from open-heart surgery to percutaneous interventions.
Keywords:
