- Abstract: Mitral valve repair is the preferred treatment, especially for mitral regurgitation and could be performed successfully in the majority of the patients. To decrease the time for learning curve and achieve successful results, an overall knowledge of the anatomic, functional, and pathology of the mitral valve and familiarization with many useful repair techniques is necessary. With such point of view, we reviewed mitral valve anatomy, physiology, pathology, and many mitral valve repair techniques.
