The UK Mini Mitral Trial compared minimally invasive (Mini) mitral valve repair (MVr) to conventional sternotomy in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation. The primary objective was to assess physical function (PF) recovery, using the Short Form 36-Item Health Survey, version 2 (SF-36v2) PF scale 12 weeks post-surgery.

Surgical outcomes traditionally rely on time-to-event analysis models, such as the Cox Proportional Hazards (CPH) model, which adjusts for covariates. These models, however, have certain limitations that must be taken into account when interpreting their results.

This study evaluated short-term outcomes and costs of robotic-assisted vs conventional mitral valve repair in adults from 2016 to 2020 using data from the Nationwide Readmissions Database.

This retrospective study of 9,765 congenital heart surgeries found that atrioventricular block complications in 3.4 percent of cases, with 1.9 percent requiring permanent pacemaker implantation.

This retrospective study compared outcomes in patients undergoing mitral valve repair for valve prolapse, with and without mitral annular disjunction (MAD). After propensity score matching, 100 patients (50 with MAD and 50 without) were analyzed.

This study analyzed mechanisms of repair failure after mitral valve repair using chordal replacement and annuloplasty for degenerative mitral regurgitation. Between 2003 and 2010, 344 patients underwent mitral valve repair at the German Heart Center Munich.
