ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is examining how the location of mitral valve prolapse (a condition where the mitral valve does not close properly) affects the long-term success of a surgical procedure called mitral plasty. Mitral valve prolapse can lead to a condition called mitral insufficiency, where the heart cannot pump blood effectively. The researchers want to understand how different types of prolapse—whether it's on one part of the valve or both—impact the outcomes of the surgery.

To participate in this study, patients must have undergone mitral surgery between 1988 and 2011 and have been diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse through an ultrasound of the heart. Those with certain heart conditions or previous heart surgeries will not be eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to provide information about your health and the surgery you had, helping researchers learn more about the best treatment approaches for this condition. This trial is currently looking for participants of all genders, aged 65 and older.
