Ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) is a complex multifactorial disease that involves global
and regional left ventricular remodeling as well as dysfunction and distortion of the …

Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is a frequent complication of left ventricular (LV) global or
regional pathological remodeling due to chronic coronary artery disease. It is not a valve …

Background Severe mitral regurgitation is associated with impaired prognosis if left
untreated. Using the devices currently available, transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) …

Background—Ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) often persists after restrictive mitral valve
annuloplasty, in which case it is associated with worse clinical outcomes. The goal of the …

Restrictive mitral annuloplasty is a surgical treatment option for patients with heart failure
(HF) and functional mitral regurgitation (MR). However, recurrent MR has been reported at …

OBJECTIVE: Division of secondary chords (chordal cutting) has been proposed as a method
for decreasing mitral valve leaflet tethering and mitral regurgitation in patients with ischemic …

Background—Recurrent functional mitral regurgitation (MR) has been reported after mitral
valve repair with annuloplasty in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, but the mechanism is …

Background—When compared to mitral valve replacement (MVR), mitral valve repair
(MVRp) is associated with better survival in patients with organic mitral regurgitation (MR) …

Aims We present 5-year echocardiographic results of combined undersizing mitral ring
annuloplasty (UMRA) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in chronic ischaemic …

Objectives: We sought to determine whether patients with functional mitral regurgitation
(FMR) would benefit from ventricular reshaping by the Coapsys device (Myocor, Inc., Maple …
