Article Synopsis
- The study compared mitral valve plasty (MVP) and mitral valve replacement (MVR) in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and related mitral regurgitation, focusing on key outcomes like death and reoperation rates.
- The analysis, following systematic review guidelines, included 35 qualitative and 23 quantitative studies, revealing a significant preference for MVP over MVR in preventing negative outcomes.
- The results strongly advocate for MVP as the preferred initial treatment for these patients, suggesting that MVR might be harmful if used as the first option.
