Features of degenerative mitral valve prolapse in the North East of China: repair characteristics, and short-term follow-up results.

CONCLUSIONS: Compared to Western countries, in our sample of Chinese population degenerative severe MR occurred in younger patients. The MVP lesion characteristics are similar, can be accurately detected by non-invasive preoperative evaluation, allowing predictable results. Advanced tailored repair techniques allow excellent immediate and short-term results regardless of the underlying complexity. PMID: 33155784 [PubMed - in process]
