Key result
Ischemic mitral regurgitation is primarily a disease of the left ventricle caused by leaflet tethering, and its optimal surgical management during CABG remains controversial and requires individualized decision-making.
Highlights the complex pathophysiology of ischemic mitral regurgitation and the importance of transesophageal echocardiography in guiding surgical strategy during coronary artery bypass grafting.
Supports individualized ischemic MR management during CABG; leaves open optimal strategy pending randomized trials.

Nobuhide Kin (2005) conducted a review in Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation complicating Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery. Surgical management strategies (CABG with or without mitral valve surgery) was evaluated. Ischemic mitral regurgitation is primarily a disease of the left ventricle caused by leaflet tethering, and its optimal surgical management during CABG remains controversial and requires individualized decision-making.
