===Primary [[MR]]===
* Primary [[MR]] is a mechanical problem of the [[leaflet]] coaptation that needs [[ mitral valve]] mechanical intervention.
* Symptomatic [[patients]] with severe [[MR]] have worsened prognosis even with normal [[LV function]]. Therefore, the onset of symptoms is an indication of [[mitral valve]] surgery.
*The goal of therapy in [[MR]] is to correct it before the onset of [[LV systolic dysfunction]].
* The ideal time for [[mitral valve]] surgery is when  there is not evidence of [[LV systolic dysfunction]] ([[LVEF]] ≤60% or [[LVESD]] ≥40 mm).
*Mitral valve repair is recommended in the expertise center. However, [[mitral valve replacement]] is preferable to a poor repair.
* [[ Annuloplasty]] and repair of the [[posterior leaflet]]  have a lower [[mortality rate]] of <1%.
*The onset of [[symptoms]], [[LV dysfunction]], or [[pulmonary hypertension]] worsens the prognosis for [[MR]].
* [[MR]] may lead to progressively more severe [[MR]]  causing [[LV dilation]], stress on the [[mitral]] apparatus, further damage to the valve apparatus, more severe [[MR]], and further [[LV dilation]] and initiating a cycle of increasing [[LV]] volumes and [[MR]].
*Longstanding [[volume]] overload leads to irreversible [[LV dysfunction]] and a poorer prognosis.
*[[ Patients]] with severe [[MR]] who develop an [[LVEF]] <60% or LVESD ≥40 mm have already developed [[LV systolic dysfunction]].
*[[LV function]] and size returned to normal after [[mitral valve repair]] in a study.
*[[Mitral Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair]] (TEER) with the anterior and posterior leaflets clipped together at ≥1 location is safe and effective in treating severely symptomatic  [[primary MR]] who are at high risk for [[surgery]].
* Studies of TEER with a mitral valve clip showed improved [[symptoms]] and a reduction in [[MR]] by 2 to 3 grades, leading to reverse remodeling of the [[LV]].
*[[Rheumatic mitral valve disease]] is less suitable for [[mitral repair]] compared with complex [[degenerative disease]].
* In the presence of thickened or calcified leaflets, an extensive subvalvular disease with chordal fusion and shortening, and progression of [[rheumatic disease]] the durability of repair would be limited.
* Repair of [[rheumatic mitral valve disease]] should be limited to [[patients]] with less advanced [[disease ]] or in [[patients]] that [[mechanical prosthesis]] cannot be used because of [[anticoagulation]] contraindication.
*[[Mitral valve repair]] is recommended as follows:
:*Severe primary [[MR]] limited to less than one-half of the posterior leaflet
:* Inappropriate [[ Mitral valve replacement]]
*  [[Mortality rate]] of repair is <1%, long-term survival rate equivalent to that of age-matched general population, approximately 95% freedom from reoperation, and >80% freedom from recurrent moderate or severe (≥3) MR at 15 to 20 years after [[surgery]].
* [[Posterior leaflet repair]] is preferred to [[mitral valve replacement]] with a [[success rate]] ≥95%.

Overview

Vasodilator therapy with ACE inhibitors and hydralazine is the mainstay of therapy in patient with chronic compensated mitral regurgitation. Acute mitral regurgitation requires urgent mitral valve repair or mitral valve replacement. MV surgery is indicated in patients with chronic aortic regurgitation who develop symptomatic mitral valve regurgitation. It is also indicated in patients with abnormalities in LV size or function (These include a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of less than 60% and a left ventricular end systolic dimension (LVESD) of greater than 45 mm), pulmonary hypertension, or new onset atrial fibrillation even without symptoms [1]. The patient with severe LV dysfunction (an LVEF < 30% and/or a left ventricular end-systolic dimension greater than 55 mm) poses a higher risk but may undergo surgery if chordal preservation is likely. MV repair is recommended over MV replacement in the majority of patients with severe chronic MR who require surgery, and patients should be referred to surgical centers experienced in MV repair.

Medical Therapy of Chronic Mitral Regurgitation

Vasodilator therapy is a mainstay of medical therapy in the management of chronic mitral regurgitation. In the chronic state, the most commonly used agents are ACE inhibitors and hydralazine. Studies have shown that the use of ACE inhibitors and hydralazine can delay surgical treatment of mitral regurgitation[2] [3].

Surgical Therapy for Chronic Mitral Regurgitation

Primary MR



Recommendations for intervention in primary mitral regurgitation
(Class I, Level of Evidence B):

Mitral valve repair is considered when the results of surgical technique are expected to be durable
Surgery is recommended in low risk symptomatic patients
Surgery is recommended in asymptomatic patients with LV dysfunction (LVESD ≥ 40 mm and/or LVEF ≤ 60%)

(Class IIa, Level of Evidence B):

Surgery is recommended in asymptomatic patients with preserved LV function (LVESD <40 mm and LVEF >60%) and AF secondary to mitral regurgitation or pulmonary hypertension (SPAP at rest >50 mmHg)
Surgical mitral valve repair is recommended in low-risk asymptomatic patients with LVEF > 60%, LVESD <40 mmd and significant LA dilatation (volume index ≥60 mL/m2 or diameter ≥55 mm)

(Class IIb, Level of Evidence B) :

TEER may be considered in symptomatic patients who are inoperable due to high surgical risk, with echocardiographic criteria of eligibility

    The above algorithm adopted from 2021 ESC Guideline[4]


    Abbreviations: CABG: Coronary artery bypass grafting; CRT: Cardiac resynchronization therapy; LV: Left ventricle; MV:Mitral valve ; PCI:Percutaneous coronary intervention; LVAD: Left ventricular assist devices; TEER: Transcatheter edge to edge repair; TAVI: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation; CAD: Coronary artery disease

    Recommendations for intervention in chronic severe secondary mitral regurgitation
    (Class I, Level of Evidence B):

    Valve surgery/intervention is recommended in symptomatic severe secondary MR despite medical therapy or CRT
    Valve surgery is recommended in patients undergoing CABG or other cardiac surgery

    (Class IIa, Level of Evidence B):

    TEER should be considered in selected symptomatic patients, not suitable for surgery and high likelihood of responding to TEER

    (Class IIa, Level of Evidence C):

    ❑ In symptomatic inoperable patients, PCI (and/orTAVI) possibly followed by TEER (in case of persisting severe secondary MR) should be considered

    (Class IIb, Level of Evidence C) :

    Valve surgery may be considered in symptomatic patients who are appropriate for surgery
    ❑In high-risk symptomatic patients not eligible for surgery and low likelihood of responding to TEER, making decision about TEER procedure or other transcatheter valve therapy and evaluation for ventricular assist device or heart transplant should be considered
