Patch repair in infective native mitral valve endocarditis
Abstract
Infective native mitral valve endocarditis occurs rarely. Mitral valve repair, although surgically challenging, is favored over replacement in the latest European and American guidelines. In this video tutorial, patch repair of the posterior mitral valve leaflet is performed in a 61-year-old patient with endocarditis caused by Streptococcus agalactiae.
