Intraoperative evaluation of transmitral pressure gradients after edge-to-edge mitral valve repair.

Intraoperative evaluation of transmitral pressure gradients after edge-to-edge mitral valve repair.

OBJECTIVE: Edge-to-edge repair of the mitral valve (MV) has been described as a viable option used for the surgical management of mitral regurgitation (MR). Based on the significant changes in MV geometry associated with this technique, we hypothesized that edge-to-edge MV repairs are associated wit...
