Improvement in short‐term outcome over time, in a single center embarking on a canine mitral valve repair program using a structured multidisciplinary approach
What constitutes an acceptable performance for MVR in the dog has not been defined so the number of cases that constitute the "learning curve" during program development and the number of cases required in the "skills maintenance" phase remain unknown. The data reported here, however, describe the level of organizational commitment and the case throughput required to begin the process of establishing a successful MVR program and as such, should be useful to any team considering this therapy.
