Resumo
Myxomatous mitral valve disease is probably the main dog heart disease around the
world. This disease courses with structural disorganization of the mitral valve
components, annular dilation and weakness of chordae tendineae. The pathogenesis
of this disease is still not fully understood, but it is known that is a progressive and
degenerative disease which pharmacological therapy is effective in reducing the
progression of the disease but is not healing. In some cases the patient, despite
adequate pharmacological treatment, develops congestive heart failure, in these
cases this patients are good candidates for curative treatment, or surgical treatment.
Therefore this review shows the most common surgery procedures for the treatment
of mixomatous mitral valve degeneration.
