The edge-to-edge (E-to-E) technique was introduced in the early 1990s and has provided a useful contribution to the surgical armamentarium of mitral valve repair. The free edges of the mitral leaflets have to be approximated in correspondence of the site of the regurgitant jet in such a way that mitral regurgitation is corrected without producing stenosis. A prosthetic ring is usually implanted to stabilize the repair. Middle- and long-term surgical results are now available. Appropriate indications and awareness of the important technical aspects of the procedure are prerequisites for a good outcome. In this review the present role of the E-to-E repair, the relevant technical aspects of the procedure, and some controversial issues will be outlined and discussed.

Choosing the “Best” surgical techniques for mitral valve repair: Lessons from the literature

et al. 2019

Mitral valve (MV) repair is the procedure of choice to correct mitral regurgitation caused by degenerative MV disease, due to its well‐documented superiority over MV replacement. Repair of the MV is feasible in more than 95% of such patients and restores valve function and preserve ventricular function. Surgeons choose from a wide variety of mitral repair techniques, with the ultimate procedure based upon the pathology and the particular surgeon's personal preference. As a result, there is considerable controversy concerning choice of repair techniques and prostheses (ie, annuloplasty device). This targeted review of available data concerning repair of the degenerative valve will inform surgeon decision‐making in MV repair.

In mitral regurgitation competence of the mitral valve can be restored by using a 'functional' rather than a conventional 'anatomical' repair. This 'functional' repair is realized by means of the edge-to-edge technique that consists in suturing together the facing portions of the anterior and posterior mitral valve leaflets in correspondence to the location of the regurgitant jet. The edge-to-edge technique was introduced in the early 1990s and has provided a useful contribution to the surgical armamentarium of mitral valve repair. Appropriate indications and awareness of the important technical aspects of the procedure are prerequisites for a good outcome. In this review the present role of the edge-to-edge repair, particularly in terms of indications and contraindications, will be outlined and discussed.
