Mitral Valve Repair in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Long-Term Outcomes and Cardiac Remodeling

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

In patients with CKD undergoing MVr, eGFR is a predictor of decreased long-term survival and residual mitral regurgitation at 1 year.
