Key result
Surgical ventricular restoration combined with mitral valve repair in ischaemic heart failure had a 14.3% operative mortality, with unstable angina strongly predicting early death (OR 8.8).
Why the study?
What are the early and mid-term outcomes and predictors of mortality in patients with ischaemic heart failure undergoing surgical ventricular restoration plus mitral valve repair?

What are the early and mid-term outcomes and predictors of mortality in patients with ischaemic heart failure undergoing surgical ventricular restoration plus mitral valve repair?
Surgical ventricular restoration combined with mitral valve repair in ischaemic heart failure yields acceptable mid-term survival, with angina status serving as a key predictor of both early and late outcomes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Caution advised with unstable angina; leaves open optimal selection for SVR plus mitral repair in ischaemic HF.
Castelvecchio et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Ischaemic heart failure (n=175). Surgical ventricular restoration plus mitral valve repair was evaluated on Operative death. Surgical ventricular restoration combined with mitral valve repair in ischaemic heart failure had a 14.3% operative mortality, with unstable angina strongly predicting early death (OR 8.8).
