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.

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is often seen in patients having a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implanted. A comparison was done between LVAD patients from the EUROMACS registry with either none-to-mild or moderate-to-severe MR prior to implantation.
