Abstract
For cases of initial suboptimal mitral valve repair, the edge-to-edge (EE) technique has been used as a bailout procedure. However the long-term durability of those rescued mitral valves is currently unknown. With this study we aim to evaluate the long-term clinical and echocardiographic results of the EE technique used to rescue patients with initial suboptimal conventional mitral valve repair.File in questo prodotto:
