      Citation Excerpt :

      Myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve (MV) is the leading cause of valvular insufficiency in the western world. Barlow disease, or “floppy valve”, is the most frequent condition with an evident valve abnormality in which excessive mucopolysaccharide-based content variably leads to redundant valvular tissue, valve structure weakness, chordal elongation or rupture, leaflet prolapse or flail usually involving the mid portion of both leaflets, and annular dilatation [1]. Structural and functional mitral insufficiency (MI) patterns, however, may vary a great deal, involving more than one portion of one leaflet or both MV leaflets at several sites often generating a multiple-jet regurgitation requiring complex and time-consuming mitral valve repair (MR) techniques.
