Fig 1 (A) Trend in mitral valve repair: minimally invasive surgery (solid bars); median sternotomy (open bars). (B) Trend in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class: I (light gray); II (medium gray); III (dark gray); and IV (black). (C) Trend in proportion of atrial fibrillation. (D) Trends in preoperative left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD) (circles), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) (squares), left atrial dimension (LAD) (diamonds), and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) (triangles). (E) Trend in proportion of patients without any guideline-related indications. (F) Trends in repair techniques: leaflet resection (dashed line); chord reconstruction (broken line); and commissural closure (solid line).

Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier curve for recurrent mitral regurgitation (MR) stratified by predictive factors. (A) Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 60% (31% [solid line]); 60% or greater (12% [broken line]). (B) Left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) greater than 60 mm (29% [solid line]); 60 mm or less (6% [broken line]). (C) Isolated anterior leaflet lesion (18% [solid line]); posterior/bileaflet (14% [broken line]). (D) Residual mild MR in operating room (25% [solid line]; no residual MR (14% [broken line]).

Fig 5 Kaplan-Meier curve for recurrent mitral regurgitation (MR) in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients (New York Heart Association class I–II): patients without left ventricular ejection fraction less than 60%, left ventricular end-systolic dimension greater than 40 mm, pulmonary hypertension, and atrial fibrillation (broken line); patients with any of the above indications (solid line).
