transcatheter technologies and reoperative mitral valve surgery. Additionally, practical algorithms to decide
the type of surgical procedures (i.e., sternotomy vs. minimally invasive surgery with right thoracotomy) and
to select between transcatheter intervention and re-do surgery were also provided.

I truly believe that the reader will enjoy this special issue of Vessel Plus and find it very useful in
understanding current techniques and future prospects in this field.
