This review summarizes the indications and results of mitral valve reconstruction in the setting of ventricular dysfunction caused by various factors.
This review summarizes the indications and surgical techniques for mitral valve reconstruction in patients with ventricular dysfunction.
Offers clinicians a consolidated reference for mitral valve reconstruction in ventricular dysfunction; leaves open the need for prospective trials to guide practice.
Mitral regurgitation is a severe problem of the mitral valve mechanism caused by many factors, including ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy, inflammation, degeneration and others. Regardless of the cause of valve dysfunction, many changes in surgical approach have been undertaken. The pioneering work of Carpentier led to the era of mitral valve reconstruction a few decades ago. Understanding the different techniques applied in several pathoanatomic settings is of major interest. This review summarizes the indications and results of this specific surgical procedure in the setting of ventricular dysfunction by different causes.
