Abstract
Mitral valve repair for posterior prolapse is a low-risk, durable surgical procedure. The repair must address both leaflet and annulus. Recurrent MR that is moderately severe or severe is uncommon in the decade after operation. These data support recommendations for early surgery and demonstrate that complete repair addresses multiple components of the valve, providing direction for percutaneous approaches.
