Surgical management of functional mitral regurgitation in heart failure patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Relevant secondary mitral regurgitation occurs in 35– 50% of patients with chronic heart failure and is associated with increased mortality. Surgical management of patients with mitral valve regurgitation and heart failure remains controversial. There are several questions which are not sufficiently clarified because of a lack of prospective randomised controlled trials: (1.) The indication for concomitant mitral valve surgery in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation; (2.) the management of functional mitral valve regurgitation; (3.) the appropriate surgical strategy: repair or chordal-sparing replacement.

Mitral valve surgery in advanced heart failure.
The appropriateness and timing of mitral valve surgery in patients with advanced heart failure and severe mitral regurgitation remains controversial. Recent surgical results provide evidence for beneficial effects on left ventricular remodeling and functional capacity. Given the absence of randomized trials comparing the outcomes of mitral valve surgery to medical therapy, however, clinical dec...
متن کاملSurgical treatment for functional mitral regurgitation secondary to dilated cardiomyopathy: Current options and future trends
There is an increasing number of patients with mitral regurgitation secondary to dilated cardiomyopathy. Recent data suggest that mitral regurgitation (MR) can be surgically corrected in heart failure with symptomatic improvements and favourable reverse left ventricular remodeling. However, several questions remain to be answered, regarding the optimal management of functional mitral regurgitat...

BaIlon mitral valvuloplasty and closed mitral valve conunissurotomy were performed in 450 and 127 patients, respectively. Also, 254 patients with severe mitral stenosis were enrolled in a prospective randomized trial comparing the two procedures. Immediately after balloon mitral valvuloplasty, mean left atrial pressure was 11.38±3.54 mmHg, transmitral valve gradient was 1.8±2 mmHg, and mit...

Introduction Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is a ventricular disease characterized by mitral valve insufficiency in the absence of structural abnormalities of the valve leaflets or sub-valvular apparatus.1 It commonly provokes heart failure and frequently confers an increase in patient mortality and morbidity. Medical therapy has a limited role for management of FMR. When treated, FMR is...
متن کاملSurgical treatment of functional mitral regurgitation in dilated cardiomyopathy.
Functional mitral regurgitation is a significant complication of end-stage cardiomyopathy. Dysfunction of one or more components of the mitral valve apparatus occurs in 39-74% and affects almost all heart failure patients. Survival is decreased in subjects with more than mild mitral regurgitation irrespective of the aetiology of heart failure. The goal of treating functional mitral regurgitatio...
