      systematic review.

AB  - A literature review was undertaken according to Cochrane guidelines to identify 
      whether mitral valve repair (MV-Repair) or replacement (MV-Replacement) is more 
      effective in patients with moderate to severe ischaemic mitral regurgitation. The 
      literature suggests MV-Repair may have improved 30-day mortality and long-term 
      survival. All 12 studies identified, however, were non-randomised, retrospective, 
      and at significant risk of bias due to heterogeneous surgical techniques and 
      mismatched patient characteristics. Data describing the need for reoperation were 
      not sufficiently well reported to analyse. Functional outcomes and health-related 
      quality of life were not reported. In conclusion, high-quality randomised 
      comparison of MV-Repair and MV-Replacement is urgently needed.
