Intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography was performed by an experienced cardiologist to document the intraoperative result of MV repair. Additionally, predischarge transthoracic echocardiography (performed on postoperative day 4–7) was performed to exclude any significant residual MR. Systolic anterior motion was observed in 2 patients and treated conservatively. Oral anticoagulation was initiated for a period of 3 months with a target Internationalized Normalized Ratio of 2.0–3.0. In presence of other indications, the target Internationalized Normalized Ratio range and treatment duration were adjusted accordingly.
