Popis: Abstract Objective Mitral valve (MV) repair for Carpentier functional classification Type II (C-II) mitral regurgitation (MR) is widely accepted because of its efficacy. It is unclear whether MV repair has the same benefits in elderly patients as in younger patients because of their lower life expectancy. Herein, we examined the midterm results of MV repair for C-II mitral regurgitation, especially in patients aged ≧70 years. Method A retrospective review was performed on 176 patients who underwent MV repair for C-II mitral regurgitation with a median age of 65 years; 55 (31%) patients were ≧70 years, and 124 were male (71%). Lesions of the mitral valve were isolated from the anterior leaflet (48 patients), posterior leaflet (113 patients), and both leaflets (15 patients), and included seven patients with Barlow’s disease. We compared the outcomes between patients aged ≧70 years (≧70 years; median age, 76 years) and those aged
