Abstract: The mitral valve (MV) is a complex, well-coordinated mechanism that can be disrupted by numerous congenital and acquired conditions. The type of lesion and the anatomical variant of valve disease determine the technical possibilities of correction. «Functional correction» is the key to success in promoting reconstructive repair surgery in atrioventricular lesions. In this article we make a synthesis of the specialized literature with reference to the modern approaches to the treatment of mitral insufficiency of degenerative etiology. Based on literature data, we can recommend reconstructive plasty surgeries for valves of degenerative, post-traumatic, ischemic, post-endocarditis etiology as effective and sustainable techniques over time, being a superior alternative to replacement with prosthetics
