Abstract
There were no statistical differences between long-term survival rates of patients who underwent conventional surgical repair versus those of patients who underwent anatomic surgical repair. Results of conventional repair were satisfactory except in patients with significant tricuspid regurgitation. Results of anatomic repair were also satisfactory even for patients with significant tricuspid regurgitation, and therefore, anatomic repair should be the procedure of choice for those patients.
