“…Sousa et al (21) previously noted that the overall operative mortality in patients, who underwent MV repair for severe MR was 1.7%. More recently, operative mortality has been reported by other authors between 0 to 0.5% (15,22,23). In our series consisting of 100 consecutive cases, there was no procedurerelated or early mortality within 30 days after surgery.…”

“…Several groups advocate the indication of early surgery in these patients, even the asymptomatic ones, especially when there is ruptured or elongated tendinous chordae of posterior mitral leaflet, where the odds to undergo mitral valve repair is likely high, with fairly satisfactory published outcomes [24,25].…”

“…The risks of surgery depend on which procedure is performed. Mitral valve repair has the best operative mortality [42] and an excellent long-term outcome [43], but is more difficult to perform than valvular replacement, and is limited to patients without significant valvular calcification. This procedure is more likely to be successful in posterior leaflet prolapse or with ruptured chordae tendinae, and less likely with anterior leaflet involvement, rheumatic disease, or ischemic disease [6].…”
