Patients with concomitant disease, redo or mitral pathology other than degenerative mitral disease were excluded from the analysis. Periprocedural safety was defined as: freedom from perioperative death, myocardial infarction, stroke, use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or reoperation for bleeding. Operative success was defined as: successful primary mitral repair without conversion to replacement or to larger thoracic incisions, without residual mitral regurgitation &amp;gt; mild at discharge or reoperation within 30\u2009days. Predictors for perioperative success and safety were identified using univariable and multivariable analyses. The impact of prolapse localization and repair technique on reoperation-free survival was assessed by Cox regression.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The mitral repair rate and the need for concomitant tricuspid repair were 94.6% and 16.5%, respectively. Perioperative mortality occurred in 5 patients (0.7%). The criteria for perioperative safety and success were met in 646\/686 (94.2%) and 648\/686 (94.5%) patients, respectively. The absence of tricuspid disease requiring repair was the only independent predictor of safety in this cohort [hazard ratio (HR) 0.460 (0.225\u20130.941), P\u2009=\u20090.033]. The only independent predictor of operative success was the use of chordal replacement [0.27 (0.09\u20130.83), P\u2009=\u20090.022]. Reoperation-free survival was 98.5%, 94.5% and 86.9% at 1, 5 and 10\u2009years, respectively. Posterior leaflet pathology demonstrated a higher reoperation-free survival as compared to other localizations (log-rank P\u2009=\u20090.002). The localization of leaflet pathology but not the repair method was an independent predictor for reoperation-free survival (HR 1.455, 95% confidence interval 1.098\u20131.930; P\u2009=\u20090.009).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In minimally invasive mitral surgery for degenerative disease, chordal replacement yields higher rates of periprocedural success than leaflet resection.
