Background: Endoscopic mitral valve repair is a new technique, bringing many benefits to patients. The assessment of the quality of life in patients after mitral valve repair is partly reflected as a result of this technique.

Methods: From 01/08/2022 to 31/12/2022, 106 patients after mitral valve repair who was eligible for the selection criteria were included in the study to assess the quality of life using the SF -36 score.

Results: 106 patients with a mean age of 55.4 years, of which mainly men accounted for 63.2% and average BMI was 23.3 kg/m². The average follow-up time after 6.9 months showed that the patient could completely return to work after 3.7 months. Overall quality of life characteristics were good with 88.9 points. In which the physical health scores are mostly over 90 points, and the mental health scores are mainly above 80 points. BMI > 25kg/m2, marital status and NYHA classifications are related to quality of life after endoscopic mitral valve repair, with statistical significance with p<0.05.

Conclusion: The quality of life of patients after endoscopic mitral valve repair was good. Several factors were associated with quality of life such as BMI>25kg/m2, marital status and NYHA classifications.
