Patient preferences for mitral valve regurgitation treatment: a discrete choice experiment

CONCLUSION: This study of US adults with DMR provides quantitative measures of risk tolerance for tradeoffs related to repair by a beating heart approach relative to conventional open-heart surgery (standard of care). These results may inform DMR treatment choices from regulatory agencies, payers, clinicians, and patients considering a beating heart repair or treatments with similar attributes as potential new alternatives to conventional surgery.PMID:34981982 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2021.2020571
