Short-term outcomes of repair vs. replacement for rheumatic mitral valve disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The main types of surgery for rheumatic mitral valve disease are traditional percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV), mitral valve replacement (MVR) with removal of the original valve, and valve repair with preservation of the original valve. Some studies have shown that mitral valve repair (MVr) has certain advantages compared with replacement.

Methods

The clinical data of 166 patients with rheumatic mitral valve lesions admitted to the Department of Cardiac Macrovascular Surgery of the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College and the Dazhou Third People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed to compare the hemodynamic changes after mitral valve repair and replacement.

Results

Hemodynamic evaluation of MVr: (1) left ven
