Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: To review the evolution of mitral valve repair and outline currently favored repair techniques.
Recent Findings: Chordal replacement with polytetrafluoroethylene sutures is an accepted and reproducible technique for repair of the anterior leaflet. Most posterior leaflet problems can be addressed with either a quadrangular resection or a sliding repair.
Summary: Mitral valve surgery has gradually evolved over the period of the last 50 years. Initially, most surgeons replaced the mitral valve in patients with regurgitant disease. It is now known, however, that long-term outcome for patients undergoing repair is superior to that for patients undergoing replacement. Mitral valve repair avoids the complications associated with the artificial valve and anticoagulation. The ability to reproducibly repair the mitral valve requires a detailed knowledge of the disease process and the reparative techniques. This article describes the current approach to mitral valve surgery and the important concepts necessary to achieve a durable repair.

Section of Cardiac Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Chicago, IL, USA.
Objective: Port sites are a common source of perioperative bleeding in robotic cardiac surgery, which can be exacerbated by patient anatomy and anticoagulation. We present results from the liberal usage of a balloon-tipped coudé catheter for tamponade of robotic port sites during robotic mitral surgery.
Methods: All patients who underwent robotic mitral valve surgery at our institution from August 2016 to July 2022 were studied ( = 320).
Machine learning for the prediction of blood transfusion risk during or after mitral valve surgery: a multicenter retrospective cohort study.

This study aimed to identify the optimal prediction method and key preoperative variables for red blood cell (RBC) transfusion risk in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery. We conducted a retrospective study involving 1477 patients from eight large tertiary hospitals in China who underwent mitral valve surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. From thirty collected preoperative variables, the Max-Relevance and Min-Redundancy (mRMR) method was used for feature selection, and various machine learning models were evaluated.
