Long-term results of edge-to-edge and neochordal mitral repair for isolated anterior leaflet lesion: a propensity match analysis
Isolated anterior leaflet pathology can be effectively treated with E-to-E or neochordal repair and ring annuloplasty. In our series, clinical and echocardiographic results were better in E-to-E group. The excellent durability of this technique up to 20 years of follow-up, together with its simplicity and reproducibility, confirms the role the E-to-E techniques as an excellent treatment option for severe mitral regurgitation due anterior mitral leaflets lesions.
