Long-term outcomes of left ventricular posterior wall plication for ischemic mitral regurgitation.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the early and long-term outcomes of left ventricular posterior wall plication for ischemic mitral regurgitation.

Methods

Patients with ischemic mitral regurgitation who underwent left ventricular posterior wall plication via right-sided left atriotomy at our institution between 2010 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Cases with normal cardiac function, left ventricular end-systolic diameter < 50 mm, and left ventriculotomy approach were excluded.

Results

The mean follow-up period was 5.3 years [standard deviation (SD) = 3.5], with a maximum of 10 years. Among the 21 patients enrolled, 9 had New York Heart Association (NYHA) class ≥ III. Three patients required preoperative inotrope support, while two preoperative ventilator support. The mean l
