This is a groundbreaking article that, for the first time, compares port access mitral surgery with sternotomy in a randomized multicenter trial. It demonstrates benefits for surgery through a minimal access route and, most importantly, that it is as safe as open surgery.

During this Medtronic Global Grand Rounds discussion, Steven Bolling, M.D., Joanna Chikwe, M.D., Neal Duggal, M.D., Tom Nguyen, M.D., and Tessa Watt, M.D., demonstrate mitral valve repair techniques and discuss their use of chords. Dr. Duggal discusses the use of echo imaging to assist in surgical decision making.

This video demonstrates the use of the NeoChord DS1000 system, which is an innovative device that implants multiple sets of Gortex neochords onto the prolapsing segment of the posterior mitral valve leaflet through a minimally invasive approach without cardiopulmonary bypass.

This video demonstrates critical steps in performing mitral valve translocation, a novel technique for patients with secondary mitral regurgitation.
March 16, 2023
Surgical mitral valve repair is the gold standard treatment for mitral regurgitation due to degenerative disease. Repair is performed on the arrested heart, meaning that assessments of success can only be made after removal of cardiopulmonary bypass.
