Late Results of Isolated Mitral Annuloplasty for "Functional" Ischemic Mitral Insufficiency
Why the study?
Does ring annuloplasty improve survival compared to suture annuloplasty in patients with functional ischemic mitral insufficiency?
Population
174 patients with functional ischemic mitral insufficiency undergoing repair with annuloplasty alone
Comparison
Ring annuloplasty (n=128) vs Suture annuloplasty (n=46)
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
Up to 5 years

Implication
May support ring over suture annuloplasty to reduce late cardiac death in ischemic MR; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
