Valve repair is the best surgical treatment for mitral regurgitation. In the present article we describe the results of mitral valve repair in patients with chronic mitral regurgitation treated at our center during the last eight years. The degree of correction of valve insufficiency, functional benefit, in-hospital morbidity and mortality, postoperative outcome of ventricular function, and middle-term overall and reoperation-free survival are analyzed. La reparación valvular es el tratamiento quirúrgico ideal de la insuficiencia mitral. En este trabajo presentamos los resultados de la reparación valvular en pacientes con insuficiencia mitral crónica operados en nuestro centro durante los últimos 8 años. Analizamos el grado de corrección de la insuficiencia, el beneficio funcional, la morbimortalidad hospitalaria, la evolución posquirúrgica de la función ventricular y la supervivencia global y libre de reoperación a medio plazo.
