Fig 1 Outcomes after mitral valve repair of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) caused by myxomatous degeneration in asymptomatic patients. (A) Overall survival. (B) Freedom from recurrent MR greater than or equal to 2+ and greater than or equal to 3+. The mean clinical follow-up interval was 3.3 ± 2.2 years. (———— = Survival; – – – – – = Recurrent MR ≥3+; ........... = Recurrent MR ≥2+.)
