Kaplan-Meier analysis of (A) 3-year survival and (B) combined endpoint free survival after successful surgical mitral valve repair of patients with chronic severe secondary mitral regurgitation. (A) The survival rate at 1 year was 86% (18 events), at 2 years 79% (26 events), and at 3 years 71% (33 events). (B) The combined endpoint free survival rate at 1 year was 81% (21 events), at 2 years 72% (31 events), and at 3 years 60% (40 events).

Kaplan-Meier analysis of (A) survival and (B) combined endpoint free survival according to left ventricular (LV) forward stroke volume at discharge after successful surgical mitral valve repair. Patients with LV forward stroke volume 58.6 mL or greater (median value) have significantly better (A) 3-year survival and (B) combined endpoint free survival than patients with LV forward stroke volume less than 58.6 mL at discharge.
