Note(s) : Surgical options for the treatment of degenerative, ischemic, inflammatory, and functional
mitral valve diseases have expanded greatly in recent decades. Still, a dilemma exists
with employing prosthetic mitral valves - in that mechanical valves exhibit good durability
but require anticoagulation versus the unpredictable durability of biological valve
prostheses. Over the past few years, it has become clear that reconstruction of the
mitral valve with autologous tissues effectively addresses this dilemma, with no need
for anticoagulation and excellent durability, combining the best qualities of both
prosthetic options without the disadvantages. Moreover, newer repair strategies, such
as autologous pericardial leaflet augmentation and artificial choral replacement have
expanded reparative approaches into virtually all pathologies, with excellent long-term
results as compared to prosthetic valve replacement. At present, mitral repair is
becoming the dominant procedure for treatment of virtually all patients with mitral
valve disease. This book is designed to illustrate contemporary and sometimes diverse
surgical techniques for various types of mitral valve repair with contributions from
many of the leaders in the field. Mitral Valve Repair and the recently published Aortic
Root Surgery are book publications arising from the Berlin Heart Valve Symposium 2008
entitled " The Biological Solution". The Mitral Valve Repair session was postponed
to June 2009 and was featured as the Berlin Mitral Valve Symposium at the joint meeting
of the Society for Heart Valve Diseases and the Heart Valve Society of America in
Berlin. The book contains a collection of proceedings on current techniques and outcomes
of mitral valve repair by many of the experts in this field which provide an authoritative
reference source for cardiac surgeons, family practitioners and clinicians
