From 2005 to 2021, 183 patients with active or healed native valve IE were included. The primary outcome was long-term mortality. Patient status was last confirmed 31 March 2021. Secondary outcomes were post-operative MR, MV reoperation, length of post-operative intensive care stay and total hospital stay.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>85 patients (46.4%) underwent MVr and 98 (53.6%) underwent MVR. Follow-up was 98.9% complete. Mean follow-up time was 5.3\u00a0years with 17% of patients reaching a follow-up time of over 10\u00a0years. There were 47 deaths (25.7%) within the follow-up period. MVR patients were more likely to have higher logistic EuroSCORE, active IE and were less likely to have elective surgery. In multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis, there was no significant difference in long-term mortality between MVr and MVR groups (hazard ratio 1.09, 95% confidence interval [0.59\u20132.00]). In Kaplan\u2013Meier analysis, MVR patients had a higher all-cause mortality although there was no significant difference at the endpoint. Propensity score matching analysis showed a significantly higher mortality in the replacement group instead (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002), Subgroup analysis revealed there remained no significant difference in mortality even in patients with active IE (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>-interaction\u2009=\u20090.859) or non-elective surgery (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>-interaction\u2009=\u20090.122). MV reoperation (odds ratio 1.00 [0.24\u20134.12]), post-operative intensive care stay (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.9650) and total hospital stay (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.9144) were comparable.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Our data demonstrates repair was at least non-inferior to replacement in IE, supporting more aggressive use of repair. There is no reason the general principle of why repair is superior to replacement should not hold in IE, with enough operator expertise.
