Key result
Mitral valve repair with concomitant CABG showed no statistically significant difference in in-hospital mortality compared to mitral valve replacement with CABG.

Comparable in-hospital mortality supports individualized surgical choice; leaves open whether repair improves other outcomes in randomized settings.

Does mitral valve repair compared to mitral valve replacement improve in-hospital outcomes in patients with mitral regurgitation and ischemic heart disease undergoing concomitant CABG?
Mitral valve repair and replacement have comparable in-hospital mortality when performed with CABG, though baseline patient risk heavily influences postoperative morbidity and length of stay.
Ljubačev et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Mitral regurgitation and ischemic heart disease (n=75). Mitral valve repair (MVRp) with concomitant CABG vs. Mitral valve replacement (MVR) with concomitant CABG was evaluated on In-hospital mortality, early postoperative morbidity, and length of stay. Mitral valve repair with concomitant CABG showed no statistically significant difference in in-hospital mortality compared to mitral valve replacement with CABG.
