Surgery is the main treatment of symptomatic<unk>  severe primary<unk><unk>  (MR) and it should be performed urgently without any delay. Although some patients with moderate<unk>  MR develop some compensatory mechanisms, surgery remains the treatment of choice for the majority of patients with<unk>  MR. Medical therapy with vasodilators might be needed to  decrease the afterload and thereby decrease the regurgitant fraction until surgery can be performed. Prior to the surgical procedure, an intra-aortic balloon pump or percutaneous circulatory assist device might also be used to stabilize the patient.
