Abstract
Mitral valve repair surgery has progressed dramatically since its inception over 40 years ago. As techniques have evolved, complicated mitral valve reconstruction has become commonplace, with durable late results. Likewise, the value of concomitant annuloplasty during valve repair has been firmly established as contributing to late valve repair durability. This review discusses the evolution of annuloplasty techniques and the physiologic reasoning behind various approaches.Entities:
