COMMON SURGICAL BELIEFS ABOUT RESPECT Vs. RESECT 1 - Leaflet repair/reconstruction : Resect A.

COMMON SURGICAL BELIEFS ABOUT RESPECT Vs. RESECT 1 - Leaflet repair/reconstruction : Resect A. Carpentier 1978. Durable, More challenging, “ Expert” technique ? Learning curve 2 - Chordal repair/replacement, PTFE : Respect T. David 1998. Easier (? , many techniques…), greater MV area (? ), Mini-mitral, Long-term durability in complex MVP subsets? SAM? 3 - Other “respect” techniques : Folding plasty for PL only, Edge-to-Edge (Alfieri technique) for PL, AL and BL

Respect rather than Resect the Anterior Leaflet • AL less repairable? 80% ? •

Respect rather than Resect the Anterior Leaflet • AL less repairable? 80% ? • Avoid Anterior leaflet resection • Chordal transfer is now rarely performed in isolated AL prolapse • Most popular technique to repair the anterior leaflet is now chordal replacement (PTFE, Goretex) Flip-over : segment of the posterior leaflet with its chordae is transferred to the anterior leaflet

Conclusions 1 - Many techniques can work, as far as adequate line of coaptation

Conclusions 1 - Many techniques can work, as far as adequate line of coaptation is restored, leaflet motion is respected, and annuloplasty is performed 2 - Anatomy based : respect or not respect excess of tissue ? 3 - One technique does not fit all, long-term and careful FU in dedicated MV clinic with regular echocardiograms
