The importance of grade 2 ischemic mitral regurgitation in coronary artery bypass grafting

4,798 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) between 1995-1998, including 89 with grade 2/4 ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) and 4,709 without MR. A nested case-control study included the 89 MR patients matched with 89 controls without MR (matched for age, gender, and left ventricular ejection fraction).
