Mitral-Valve Repair for Mitral-Valve Prolapse

Abstract

A 55-year-old man presents with a holosystolic murmur of increasing intensity and is given a diagnosis of mitral-valve prolapse with severe mitral regurgitation. He is asymptomatic but has mildly depressed left ventricular function and mild left ventricular enlargement. Mitral-valve repair is recommended. Mitral-valve repair may result in a better survival rate than mitral-valve replacement, but mitral regurgitation can recur.
