Clinical Outcome of Rheumatic Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement Surgery in Indonesia; A Comparison with Non-Rheumatic Aetiology.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Mitral valve repair (MVr) has been shown to achieve better outcomes than mitral valve replacement (MVR) in degenerative aetiology. However, that cannot be applied in rheumatic mitral valve disease. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate early and late clinical outcomes and mid-term survival in RHD compared to the non-RHD group and whether mitral valve repair is a better surgical approach in RHD patients.

Methods

Patients who underwent mitral valve surgery with or without coronary artery bypass grafting were included in this study. All patients were divided into the RHD and non-RHD group by the type of mitral surgery performed. Early and late outcomes were evaluated, and mid-term cumulative survival was reported.

Results

A total of 1382 patients post MV su
