Provide a brief summary here.
Mitral valve repair or replacement is performed for severe mitral regurgitation (MR), mitral stenosis (MS), or mixed disease. Repair is preferred when possible because it preserves annular-ventricular continuity, maintains LV geometry, improves long-term survival, and avoids prosthetic complications. Replacement is performed when repair is not durable or technically feasible (severe calcifications, rheumatic disease, extensive endocarditis).

Mitral valve repair or replacement is performed for severe mitral regurgitation (MR), mitral stenosis (MS), or mixed disease. Repair is preferred when possible because it preserves annular-ventricular continuity, maintains LV geometry, improves long-term survival, and avoids prosthetic complications. Replacement is performed when repair is not durable or technically feasible (severe calcifications, rheumatic disease, extensive endocarditis).
