AIM OF THE STUDY : We studied the risk factors of operative mortality and the long-term outcome of mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR). METHODS : Between 1989 and 2009, 311 patients underwent mitral valve repair for severe degenerative MR by the same surgeon in two centers in Europe. Follow up was complete for 300 patients over a period of 10 years. We studied 7 preoperative parameters : NYHA class, age, left ventricular systolic diameter, ejection fraction, systolic pulmonary arrery pressure (PAP), atrial fibrillation, additive and logistic EuroSCORE. Long-term outcomewas measured by last NYHA class and left ventricular diameters at follow up. RESULTS : The overall repair rate was 97,7 %. Hospital mortality was 2...
