Efficacy of chordal cutting to relieve chronic persistent ischemic mitral regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Mitral regurgitation (MR) conveys adverse prognosis in ischemic heart disease. Leaflet closure is restricted by tethering to displaced papillary muscles, and is, therefore, incompletely treated by annular reduction. In an acute ischemic model, we reduced such MR by cutting a limited number of critically positioned chordae to the leaflet base that most restrict closure but are not req...
متن کاملChordal cutting: a new therapeutic approach for ischemic mitral regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Mitral regurgitation (MR) conveys adverse prognosis in ischemic heart disease. Because such MR is related to increased leaflet tethering by displaced attachments to the papillary muscles (PMs), it is incompletely treated by annular reduction. We therefore addressed the hypothesis that such MR can be reduced by cutting a limited number of critically positioned chordae to the leaflet b...
متن کاملEfficacy of chordal cutting in alleviating ischemic mitral regurgitation: insights from 3-dimensional echocardiography
BACKGROUND Ischemic mitral regurgitation often complicates severe ischemic heart disease and adversely affects the prognosis in these patients. There is wide variation in the clinical spectrum of ischemic mitral regurgitation due to varying location and chronicity of ischemia and anomalies in annular and ventricular remodeling. As a result, there is lack of consensus in treating these patients....
متن کاملMidterm outcomes of chordal cutting in combination with downsized ring annuloplasty for ischemic mitral regurgitation.
PURPOSE We describe midterm outcomes after division of secondary chords (chordal cutting) combined with downsized ring annuloplasty for ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR). METHODS We compared the clinical outcomes in patients who underwent chordal cutting with downsized ring annuloplasty (CC-group, n = 15) and those who underwent conventional ring annuloplasty only (Conventional-group, n = 3...
متن کاملPersistent and recurrent ischemic mitral regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is a consequence of coronary artery disease and the main underlying mechanism is augmented leaflet tethering due to outward displacement of the papillary muscles. Although mitral annuloplasty combined with coronary revascularization is usually effective in the treatment of IMR, occasionally the regurgitation can persist or recur and this can affect...
