Hi, all--

Just a little curious...

Can someone point out to me any specific journals/info that discuss the durability of mitral leaflets post-op? I think I had read somewhere (maybe it was here) that the anterior leaflet repair poses a higher risk of needing re-op as opposed to the posterior leaflet. Not sure why, but just wondering if anyone knows.

Thanks!:)
