ABSTRACT
0.05). Follow-up of 14 patients was from 1 to 60 months (the mean value is 26. 8 months). There was no late death and re-operation. The average mitral annulus area is (3.00?0.57) cm~2. The transmitral pressure gradient decreased from (8.13?4.49) mmHg to (6.25?3.82) mmHg after operation (P=0.050). There were eight cases with minimal reflux and 6 cases with slight reflux. In all patients, the heart function returned to NYHA I~II grade. Conclusion The “edge-to-edge” technique is a feasible and effective operation for treatment of the mitral regurgitation caused by Barlow's disease.
