[The experience of mitral valve repair for valve regurgitation]

Between November 1993 and March 1995, 10 patients underwent mitral valve repair. Six of them were performed with McGoon's procedure for prolapsed posterior leaflet. Two of them were performed chodal reconstruction with PTFE sutures for prolapsed anterior leaflet. A patient received McGoon's procedure of posterior leaflet and chodal reconstruction of anterior leaflet. A patient of ischemic mitral regurgitation underwent mitral annuloplasty. There were no operative and late deaths. The MR disappeared or improved to grade I in 9 patients. A patient with McGoon's procedure had hemolytic anemia and required reoperation.
