PG - 370-7 LID - 10.5761/atcs.oa.14-00204 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: The progression of left ventricular (LV) remodeling and subsequent mitral valve tethering impair the results of reduction annuloplasty for ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR). METHODS: We studied 90 patients who underwent surgical repair of ischemic MR between 1999 and 2013 according to our surgical strategy adding submitral and ventricular procedures to annuloplasty as follows: annuloplasty alone (stage 1, n = 30), additional papillary muscle approximation (PMA) for progression of tethering (stage 2, n = 26), and additional left ventriculoplasty with PMA for progression of LV remodeling and tethering (stage 3, n = 34). RESULTS: The preoperative New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classes (2.5 +/- 0.7, 3.1 +/- 0.7 and 3.3 +/- 0.7 for stages 1, 2 and 3, respectively, P <0.001), LV end-diastolic diameters (56 +/- 7 mm, 66 +/- 5 mm and 70 +/- 7 mm, P <0.001), and LV ejection fractions (45 +/- 12%, 32 +/- 9% and 27 +/- 9%, P <0.001) significantly differed among the stages. In contrast, the MR grades did not significantly differ (2.9 +/- 0.8, 3.0 +/- 1.0, and 2.9 +/- 1.1, respectively; P = 0.93). Both the rates of cardiac-related survival and freedom from reoperation were comparable among the 3 groups (log-rank P = 0.92 and 0.58, respectively). CONCLUSION: Additional submitral and ventricular procedures can compensate for the possible impairment of the outcomes after annuloplasty alone for ischemic MR in patients with severe LV remodeling and tethering.
