Long-Term Results in Minimally Invasive Non-Resectional Mitral Valve Repair for Barlow Mitral Valve Disease.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The aim was to assess the long-term outcomes, safety, and durability of total endoscopic mitral valve repair for Barlow mitral valve disease. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 98 patients undergoing minimal invasive total endoscopic mitral valve repair for Barlow mitral valve disease was conducted between May 2009 and December 2023. A non-resectional repair approach using artificial neochordae and/or ring annuloplasty was performed. Clinical and echocardiographic follow-ups were completed. Rates per patient-years with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for all time-to-event outcomes were calculated. Results: The mean age was 59 ± 12, and 43% were female. Minimally invasive mitral valve repair was successfully performed in all 98 patients with no conversions to
