PG - 530-4 AB - OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively summarize and analyze the short and mid term follow-up outcomes of combined coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and restrictive mitral annuloplasty in curing ischemic cardiomyopathy and ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR), and to study its effect on reverse left ventricular remodeling. METHODS: From January 2000 to June 2008, 111 patients of coronary artery disease with moderate to severe IMR underwent combined CABG and restrictive mitral annuloplasty, downsizing by 1-2 ring sizes. There were 81 male and 30 female patients. The age ranged from 36 to 83 years with a mean of (63 +/- 18) years. Preoperative transthoracic echocardiography showed minimal to moderate IMR in 7 cases, moderate to severe in 65 cases and severe in 39 cases. The left arterial diameter (LAD) was (58 +/- 6) mm, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) was (61 +/- 8) mm, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 46% +/- 6%. Serial studies were performed to assess the survival rate, the extent of mitral regurgitation (MR), LVEF, the leaflet coaptation height, LAD, LVEDD, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class. RESULTS: Hospital mortality was 2.7% (3 cases). Each case received an undersized ring. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography showed that no regurgitation in 69 cases, minimal in 34 cases, minimal to moderate in 5 cases, moderate to severe in 3 cases which received mitral valve replacement. The 3-, 12- and 24-month survival rate was 96.2%, 93.5% and 89.7% respectively. Mitral regurgitation grade decreased after the operative procedure (P < 0.01). LVEF increased from (46 +/- 6)% to (53 +/- 6)% (24 months follow-up) (P < 0.01). LAD decreased from (58 +/- 6) mm to (46 +/- 6) mm (24 months follow-up) (P < 0.01). LVEDD decreased from (61 +/- 8) mm to (48 +/- 10) mm (24 months follow-up) (P < 0.01). There was no significant decline of LVEDD in 18 cases (16.2%) whose preoperative mean LVEDD was (69 +/- 9) mm. NYHA functional class improved after operative procedures (P < 0.01). At 24 months follow-up, 2 cases received valvular replacement. CONCLUSIONS: Combined CABG and restrictive mitral annuloplasty is a feasible and effective treatment for IMR, the short and mid term outcomes are satisfactory, and a significant reduction of LVEDD and an increase of LVEF due to reverse ventricular remodeling were observed.
