Learning Curve Analysis of Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair
The estimated number of operations to achieve optimal repair outcomes and durability is ~60 to 85 patients. These data can improve the design of surgical training competencies, beyond avoidance of complications, and instead focus the learning curve on what is necessary to achieve optimal mitral repair outcomes.
