Abstract
The rheumatic mitral disease represents a complex progressive disorder that affects young adults and causes severe morbidity and mortality. Valve replacement with a mechanical valve has been the traditional treatment for these patients. Valve replacement increases longevity but necessitates several lifestyle changes. Improved understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease and standardization of mitral repair techniques, renewed interest is now generated in repairing these complex valves. We review the existing evidence for the repairing rheumatic mitral valve and propose a practical and systematic approach to repair the valve to ensure higher success rates.

期刊介绍：
The primary aim of the Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery is education. The journal aims to dissipate current clinical practices and developments in the area of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery. This includes information on cardiovascular epidemiology, aetiopathogenesis, clinical manifestation etc. The journal accepts manuscripts from cardiovascular anaesthesia, cardiothoracic and vascular nursing and technology development and new/innovative products.The journal is the official publication of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeons which has a membership of over 1000 at present.DescriptionThe journal is the official organ of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons. It was started in 1982 by Dr. Solomon Victor and ws being published twice a year up to 1996. From 2000 the editorial office moved to Delhi. From 2001 the journal was extended to quarterly and subsequently four issues annually have been printed out at time and regularly without fail. The journal receives manuscripts from members and non-members and cardiovascular surgeons. The manuscripts are peer reviewed by at least two or sometimes three or four reviewers who are on the panel. The manuscript process is now completely online. Funding the journal comes partially from the organization and from revenue generated by subscription and advertisement.
