Abstract: Posterior mitral valve (MV) leaflet prolapse repair can be performed by either leaflet resection or chordal replacement techniques. As the latter has been proposed to result in better left ventricular (LV) function due to presumed… read more here.

Abstract: Resection (triangular or quadrangular) is considered the gold standard for the treatment of posterior leaflet prolapse and loop implantation a more recent alternative. We aimed to compare the long‐term outcomes of triangular or quadrangular resection… read more here.
