Abstract
In the treatment of degenerative severe mitral regurgitation, there is a general consensus and well-accepted class 1 grade A level evidence for preferring mitral valve (MV) repair over MV replacement. If MV repair is feasible, it has been shown to reduce operative mortality and improve long-term survival and functional status in the comparison with MV replacement.
