Budra M, Janušauskas V, Drąsutienė A, et al. - Via performing this nonrandomized observational study including 88 patients (mean age, 60 years; 69% were men) who underwent transventricular mitral valve repair for severe degenerative mitral regurgitation, researchers sought to determine the midterm outcomes of transventricular mitral valve repair as well as examined its correlation with the initial anatomy of the mitral valve. A total of 83 patients (94.3%) completed median follow-up of 42 months (interquartile range, 27-55). Findings support the possibility of achieving initial acceptable mitral regurgitation reduction after transventricular mitral valve repair of isolated P2 prolapse but it was found durable in only 82% at 3 years. Risk of mitral regurgitation recurrence was noted to be higher with complex degenerative pathology.
