MVr group did have improved functional outcomes at 6 weeks. The primary outcome revealed there was no
significant difference in the outcome 12 weeks postoperatively. They reported similar outcomes and
durability between the MVr performed by sternotomy or thoracotomy at 1 year postoperatively. These
results demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of minimally invasive MVr surgery with improved physical
functioning at 6 weeks postoperatively, but not at 12 weeks. Early improvement in functioning potentially
