Abstract
Combined mitral valve repair and SVR carries high operative risk and long-term prognosis is worse than after SVR alone. The edge-to-edge repair without annuloplasty for functional ischemic mitral regurgitation seems to be fairly durable in conjunction with SVR. To improve results a transventricular annuloplasty may be added.
