Abstract
The pathophysiology of mitral regurgitation affects the durability of mitral valve repair for degenerative disease, and the results of posterior prolapse are better than those of anterior and bileaflet prolapse. This study indicates that rates of reoperation underscore the rates of failure of mitral valve repair.
