Late Results of Isolated Mitral Annuloplasty for “Functional” Ischemic Mitral Insufficiency

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2001
Repair of functional ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) due to annular deformity and leaflet restriction remains a challenge for the surgeon and lacks well-documented outcomes. We investigated outcomes in the treatment of functional ischemic MR corrected by annuloplasty techniques alone.From May 1980 to July 1999, 174 patients underwent repair for ...

Mitral Valve Reconstruction and Mitral Valve Replacement for Ischemic Mitral Insufficiency

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1997
Patients with ischemic mitral incompetence have a high operative risk whether the valve is repaired or replaced. The advantage of repair over replacement is unclear in this group of patients.Between April 1986 and December 1994, 232 patients underwent surgery for ischemic mitral valve insufficiency; mitral valve replacement was performed in 98 of them.

The Influence of Revascularization on Ischemic Mitral Insufficiency

1991
Since Doppler echocardiography in clinical medicine we know that mitral regurgitation (MR) is a very common if not physiological phenomenon. Left ventricular angiography demonstrates regurgitation into the left atrium much less frequently -usually only if echocardiography demonstrates retrograde flow throughout systole. Left ventricular angiography has

Mechanisms of Ischemic Mitral Insufficiency and Their Surgical Correction

1991
The function of the mitral valve is dependent on the precise interaction of cusps, chordae, ventricular base, and the posterior ventricular wall. For closure to take place with or without atrial contraction, a vortex forms behind the anterior cusp and moves it posteriorly, and the ventricular muscle starts to develop tension.

Mitral valve repair for ischemic mitral insufficiency

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1991
Over a 5-year period, 1,292 patients had operation on their native mitral valves. Ischemia was the cause of mitral insufficiency in 84 patients (6.5%). Sixty-five patients (77.4%) had mitral valve repair. Mean age was 66 +/- 10 years; 35 patients (53.8%) were women.

Repair of Mitral Insufficiency on an Ischemic Basis

1987
The operative risk in patients with severe mitral insufficiency on an ischemic basis who receive a mitral prosthesis in addition to coronary bypass grafting is not negligible. Furthermore, the long-term results of surgery in this group of patients are rather poor when compared with those obtained in patients who only undergo myocardial ...
