To the Editor:

We read with interest the recent article of Suri and colleagues1Go in the Journal. The authors reported their 35-year experience of redo surgery for mitral valve (MV) repair failure in degenerative disease. They concluded that MV re-repair should be performed whenever technically feasible owing to the improved survival and better left ventricular performance allowed by the procedure in comparison to MV replacement. Although our surgical management of such patients is similar, we found some concerns with their reported data that need clarification.
