Degenerative Mitral Valve Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
The current gold standard for severe mitral regurgitation is mitral valve plasty (PLM). The surgery allows the repair of the mitral valve, therefore without the need for mitral valve replacement (SVM), which involves the implantation of a biological prosthesis or a mechanical prosthesis. However, PLM has a rate of failure, between 1-4% per year in degenerative mitral pathologies. As a result, patients with PLM failure and severe residual regurgitation are increasingly presenting in recent years. Generally these patients are re-operated to replace the mitral valve. Our aim is to investigate the differences in re-operation involving mitral valve replacement or re-repair in patients who underwent mitral valve re-operation (re-repair or replacement) in our center between 2003 and 2017.
Interventions
A mitral valve plasty is performed to treat mitral regurgitation
A mitral valve replacement with a prosthesis is performed to treat mitral regurgitation
