Mitral Plasticity: The Way to Prevent the Burden of Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation? [PDF]
The ischemic impairment of the left ventricular contractility, followed by an adverse remodeling leading to the displacement of the papillary muscles (PMs), increased tethering forces and loss of valve competence has been the long-term accepted ...

Quantitative in vivo assessment of human mitral valve coaptation area after undersized ring annuloplasty repair for ischemic mitral regurgitationCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]
Objectives: Long-term outcomes of mitral valve repair procedures to correct ischemic mitral regurgitation remain unpredictable, due to an incomplete understanding of the disease process and the inability to reliably quantify the coaptation zone using ...

Mitral valve repair or replacement for ischemic mitral regurgitation? The Italian Study on the Treatment of Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation (ISTIMIR) [PDF]
It is uncertain whether mitral valve replacement is really inferior to mitral valve repair for the treatment of chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation. This multicenter study aimed at providing a contribution to this issue.Of 1006 patients with chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation and impaired left ventricular function (ejection fractionÂ

Edge-to-edge with partial band mitral valve repair compared to replacement and undersized restrictive annuloplasty for ischemic mitral regurgitationCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]
Objective: Evidence supports replacement over repair for ischemic mitral regurgitation due to improved durability; however, the latter often involves an undersized ring annuloplasty that does not include edge-to-edge approximation.

The high-risk features among patients undergoing mitral valve operation for ischemic mitral regurgitation: The 3-strike scoreCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]
Objective: Ischemic mitral regurgitation is prevalent and associated with high surgical risk. With the less-invasive option of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, the optimal patient selection for mitral valve operation for ischemic mitral regurgitation ...

Multiple percutaneous coronary interventions worsen outcomes for subsequent surgical correction of chronic ischemic mitral regurgitationCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]
Objective: We investigated whether or not a history of multiple percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) is associated with clinical outcomes after surgery for ischemic mitral regurgitation. Methods: A total of 309 patients with chronic ischemic mitral

Echocardiographic and Angiographic Prevalence of Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation
Background and Objectives: Ischemic mitral regurgitation is defined as regurgitation associated with significant stenosis of one or more of the coronary arteries and the absence of organic mitral valve disease.
