Why the study?
Does concomitant coronary revascularisation reduce perioperative mortality in patients undergoing urgent mitral valve surgery for acute post-infarction mitral regurgitation?
Does concomitant coronary revascularisation reduce perioperative mortality in patients undergoing urgent mitral valve surgery for acute post-infarction mitral regurgitation?
In patients with acute post-infarction mitral regurgitation, concomitant coronary revascularisation during urgent mitral valve surgery significantly reduces perioperative mortality.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet change practice; leaves open whether concomitant revascularisation causally reduces mortality in acute post-infarction mitral regurgitation.
Chevalier et al. (2004) studied this question.
