Explain Associated Mitral Regurgitation and their role in miscellaneous conditions?
Associated Mitral Regurgitation : If significant MR is present, repair of the valve is done in the classical method by a left atrial approach. In elderly sick patient, an edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (Alfieri) is done by a suture applied at the middle of the edges of anterior and posterior leaflets. This effectively makes a double orifice mitral valve and reduces prolapse and mitral regurgitation.
