Surgical treatment of moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Ischemic mitral regurgitation is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. For surgical patients with moderate regurgitation, the benefits of adding mitral-valve repair to coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) are uncertain. METHODS We randomly assigned 301 patients with moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation to CABG alone or CABG plus mitral-valve repair (combined proced...

In cases of old myocardial infarction, the presence of mitral valve regurgitation is one of the predicting factors of long-term prognosis. The mechanism of ischemic mitral regurgitation consists of mitral annular dilatation, left ventricular (LV) dilatation followed by tethering of the mitral valve, etc. Since long-term prognosis of the patients in whom the degree of mitral valve regurgitation ...
متن کاملIschemic Mitral Regurgitation
Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is a frequent complication of left ventricular (LV) global or regional pathological remodeling due to chronic coronary artery disease. It is not a valve disease but represents the valvular consequences of increased tethering forces and reduced closing forces. IMR is defined as mitral regurgitation caused by chronic changes of LV structure and function due to ...

Background. Intraoperative transesophageal Doppler color flow imaging (TDCF) affords the opportunity to assess mitral valve competency immediately before and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of TDCF to assist in the selection and operative treatment of ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR). Methods and Results. Two hundred forty-six patients u...
متن کاملIschemic mitral regurgitation
Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is a relatively frequent complication of myocardial infarction. The presence of IMR negatively influences imminent mortality after myocardial infarction and the long-term survival of the patients. IMR is a functional, not morphological impairment of mitral valve and is caused by a change in the geometry of the left ventricle. In the review article, the author...
