Recurrent mitral regurgitation after annuloplasty for functional ischemic mitral regurgitation [PDF]
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2004 We sought to characterize the temporal return of mitral regurgitation after annuloplasty for functional ischemic mitral regurgitation; to identify its predictors, particularly with respect to annuloplasty type; and to determine whether annuloplasty type influences survival.From April 1985 through November 2002, 585 patients underwent annuloplasty alone
