Why the study?
Data regarding the efficacy of surgical interventions and the determinants of postoperative outcomes for ischemic mitral regurgitation remain inconclusive.

Population

Mortality aligns with EuroSCORE II predictions for mitral surgery plus CABG in ischemic MR; leaves optimal repair strategy open.
Does concomitant mitral valve surgery and CABG improve early and long-term mortality in patients with ischemic mitral regurgitation?
Concomitant mitral valve surgery during CABG for ischemic mitral regurgitation demonstrates acceptable mortality rates that align with EuroSCORE II predictions, though reduced LVEF and advanced symptoms predict worse long-term outcomes.
