Mitral valve repair of the anterior leaflet: Are we there yet?
Hell. J. Cardiol. 78, 72-83 (2024)
Mitral regurgitation is one of the most prevalent valvulopathies with a disease burden that incurs significant healthcare costs globally. Surgical repair of the posterior mitral valve leaflet is a standard treatment but approaches for repairing the anterior mitral valve leaflet are not widely established. Since anterior leaflet involvement is less common and more difficult to repair, fewer studies have investigated its natural history and treatment options. In this review, we discuss surgical techniques for repairing the anterior leaflet and their outcomes including survival, reoperation, and recurrence of regurgitation. We show that most patients with mitral regurgitation from the anterior leaflet can be repaired with good outcomes if performed at centers with expertise. Additionally, equal consideration for early repair should be given to patients with mitral regurgitation from both anterior and posterior pathology. However, more studies to better evaluate the efficacy and safety of anterior mitral valve leaflet repair are needed.
