Mitral Valve Repair with Flexible Band Versus Rigid Band in Non Rheumatic Mitral Regurgitation A Comparative Clinical Trial

Background All over the world, the most common clinically presented valvular heart disease is Mitral regurgitation (MR).Mitral valve repair is considered the surgery of choice for mitral regurgitation. Aim of work: evaluation of the early result of mitral repair with flexible and rigid band in non-rheumatic mitral regurgitation. Patients and Method: between September 2017 till June 2019, We prospectively reviewing 86patients who undergoing mitral valve repair with either a flexible or rigid band due to non rheumaticcause .The mean age of flexible and rigid band group were (48.2±10.2) years and (50.4±10.3) years, respectively. We evaluate all patients after 6 months of surgery. Results There is no intraoperative mortality in our study ,but according to early mortality there was 2 patient in flexible group ,and 1 patients in rigid one with no significant differences. There was also no significant differences according to failure of repair. Conclusions: The early outcomes of Mitral valve repair with rigid or flexible band show goodresults in our prospective study, in spite of type of band that were used , but There were statistical differences between both groups regarding postoperative left ventricular dimension and function.
