Official Title: A Randomized Trial of Mitral Valve Repair With Leaflet Resection Versus Leaflet Preservation on Functional Mitral Stenosis: The Canadian Mitral Research Alliance (CAMRA-1)
Brief Summary: Multicentre, double-armed, randomized controlled trial designed to compare mitral valve leaflet resection versus leaflet preservation with regards to the development of functional mitral stenosis following surgical repair of mitral valve prolapse. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to receive: (1) mitral valve repair with a leaflet resection or (2) mitral valve repair with leaflet preservation (using polytetrafluoroethylene neochordae), followed by echocardiographic and clinical assessment at 12-months following surgery.
