Comparing surgical techniques and results of secondary ischemic mitral regurgitation: a state-of-the-art literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Surgery for mitral valve disease is a developing area with a wide range of surgical options. There is growing evidence on the best approach for secondary ischemic mitral regurgitation (SIMR) when the pathology is within the ventricle. The goal of this literature review is to provide a comprehensive comparison of surgical treatments for SIMR.

Methods

The initial screening process included PubMed, Medline and Embase to identify randomized controlled trials, propensity-matched observational series, meta-analyses and unmatched observational series. The terms used were 'mitral valve disease', 'secondary mitral regurgitation', 'secondary ischemic mitral regurgitation', 'functional mitral regurgitation', 'restrictive mitral annuloplasty', 'subvalvular repai
