Mitral repair with leaflet preservation versus leaflet resection and ventricular reverse remodeling from a randomized trial
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: In the Canadian Mitral Research Alliance (CAMRA) Trial CardioLink-2 leaflet resection versus preservation techniques for posterior leaflet prolapse was investigated and no difference was shown in their effect on mean mitral gradient at peak exercise at 12 months postoperatively. The purpose of this subanalysis was to evaluate the effect of the 2 strategies on left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling after repair.
METHODS: A total of …
