TLDR
There is no clearly demonstrable mortality benefit conferred by MVA for significant MR with severe LV dysfunction, and a prospective randomized control trial is warranted for further study of mortality with MVA in this population.

Evaluation of Valtech’s transcatheter mitral valve repair device

TL;DR: Cardioband is a novel technology designed for transcatheter repair of the mitral valve in the treatment of functional MR and the adjustability features under the beating heart and guided by echocardiography allow to provide a tailored therapy to each particular mitral valves and regurgitation condition.

Papillary muscle sling placement for functional mitral regurgitation during minimally invasive valve surgery.

TL;DR: The patient underwent minimally invasive mitral valve repair with placement of a papillary muscle sling, which improved her symptoms and was in heart failure class IV, with dyspnea on minimal exertion.

Long-term influence of mild or moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation after off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery.

TL;DR: OPCAB patients with preoperative mild or moderate IMR had a higher prevalence of preoperative risk factors than those without IMR but, over the long term, were found to be at risk for recurrent cardiac events.

The effect of spironolactone on morbidity and mortality in patients with severe heart failure. Randomized Aldactone Evaluation Study Investigators.

TL;DR: Blockade of aldosterone receptors by spironolactone, in addition to standard therapy, substantially reduces the risk of both morbidity and death among patients with severe heart failure.
