Surgical treatment of functional mitral regurgitation in dilated cardiomyopathy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 regurgitation is to slow or reverse ventricular remodelling, improve symptoms and functional class, decrease the frequency of hospitalization for congestive heart failure, slow progression to advanced heart failure (time to transplant) and improve survival. This article reviews the role of mitral valve surgery in patients with heart failure and dilated cardiomyopathy.

Surgical 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...
متن کاملIsolated Undersized Mitral Annuloplasty for Functional Mitral Regurgitation in Non-Ischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy
he appearance of functional mitral regurgitation (MR) predicts poor survival for patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Therefore, surgical treatment is recognized as crucial for improving life expectancy. Regarding mitral reconstruction in DCM, Bolling et al reported the clinical usefulness of the undersized mitral annuloplasty (MAP) in 1995;1 however, recurrent or persistent ...

Ischemic cardiomyopathy is the most common type of dilated cardiomyopathy. Its surgical treatment is one of the most challenging topic in cardiac surgery, with a history starting about 50 years ago. Several types of correction have been devised with varying outcome. The problem of mitral regurgitation is still an open issue. Hundreds of studies tried to resolve the dilemma of the best surgical ...
متن کاملAdaptive cardiac resynchronization therapy for dilated cardiomyopathy with functional mitral regurgitation
We report the case of a man in his 60s who had dilated cardiomyopathy with severe functional mitral regurgitation. Four years after a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator was implanted, this device was replaced with an adaptive CRT device because of battery consumption. Seven months after replacement of this device, the left ventricular p...
متن کاملPercutaneous mitral annular reduction provides continued benefit in an ovine model of dilated cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Functional mitral valve regurgitation plays a key role in the symptomatic severity and progression of heart failure. In an ovine model of dilated cardiomyopathy, we examined the chronic functional consequences of mitral regurgitation reduction using a recently developed novel percutaneous mitral annular reduction (PMAR) device. METHODS AND RESULTS Fourteen adult sheep were paced ri...
