Abstract
Mitral valve repair is the gold standard treatment for mitral regurgitation. The history of mitral valve repair and its refinement in terms of the technique used will show the evolution of this surgical technique. The standard technique we use for mitral valve repair is described, and the outcomes we have observed over the past 4 decades are presented.
