Abstract
Early surgical intervention for severe degenerative mitral regurgitation before symptoms, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular dysfunction are associated with excellent clinical outcomes. Besides complexity of leaflet lesion and repair quality, surgical timing also significantly affects repair durability. Early surgical intervention should therefore be recommended to reduce recurrent mitral regurgitation.
