Clinical assessment demonstrates improved postoperative cardiovascular events in atrial functional mitral regurgitation, highlighting surgical benefits of plication.
Left atrial (LA) plication is a procedure used to correct an LA that expands posteriorly due to remodeling. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of additional LA plication in reducing postoperative cardiovascular events (CVEs) after mitral valve (MV) repair in atrial functional mitral regurgitation (MR) patients.
