Class I recommendations of both American (2014) and European (2017) societies for severe

primary mitral valve regurgitation are as

follows: Mitral valve surgery is indicated in

symptomatic patients with LVEF greater than 30% and in asymptomatic patients with LVEF of 60% or less.

therapy in 108 infants and children Circulation.

Transcatheter dilation of mitral stenosis is

effective, but postdilation regurgitation was

shown to be associated with worst outcomes Surgery is preferred in cases with a supramitral ring.
