Long-term echocardiographic evaluation of asymptomatic patients undergoing minimally invasive valve repair for severe primary mitral regurgitation.
CONCLUSIONS: Minimally invasive mitral valve repair is a safe and efficient method of correction in asymptomatic patients. The intervention should be performed regardless of ventricular and atrial dimensions. PMID: 32267134 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

More for less - Long-Term Survival Modelling for Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement follow-up. The division between a ministernotomy and a full sternotomy approach
CONCLUSIONS: MIAVR through ministernotomy provides at least as good long-term survival as FSAVR. Nevertheless, it should be recommended for diabetic, poor mobility patients with pre-existing AF in order to reduce their high cerebrovascular risk and to limit the progression of HF. MIAVR also needs to be considered in patients with chronic lung diseases to improve their extremely poor survival prognosis.PMID:35188218 | DOI:10.33963/KP.a2022.0056
