The best treatment for ventricular functional mitral regurgitation still remains unclear. Papillary muscle tugging approximation (PMTA) is a technique known to preserve function of the sub-valvular apparatus, keeping it functionally in synch with the left ventricle systolic and diastolic dynamics. Herein, we present a case of mitral valve replacement with PMTA in a patient with severely impaired left ventricular function 14 years post initial mitral valve repair, which significantly improved during a course of 4 years after the reoperation without any complications.

To test the hypothesis, we: 1) developed a standing flank ovariohysterectomy procedure for use in beef heifers, and 2) implemented this procedure in a cohort of heifers up to d 50 of pregnancy for tissue collections, documentation of post-surgical recovery, and assessment of feedlot finishing performance. Ovariectomy and cesarean section protocols are well established in research and veterinary medicine and were used as starting points for procedural development.
