Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Whether mitral surgery should be performed simultaneously with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation (MIMR) is controversial. This study was performed to introduce a method of off-pump mitral valvuloplasty after off-pump CABG (OPCABG) and compare it with OPCABG alone.
METHODS
Eighty-three patients with MIMR underwent OPCABG. Among them, 21 patients (Group A) underwent posterior mitral annuloplasty without cardiopulmonary bypass, and 62 patients (Group B) underwent OPCABG alone. The primary endpoint of follow-up was the mitral regurgitation area.
RESULTS
The mean mitral regurgitant area in Group A and B was 6.42 ± 1.02 and 5.49 ± 1.24 cm2 preoperatively (p = .479), 2.93 ± 1.35 and 3.28 ± 1.93 cm2 at 1 week postoperatively (p = .516), 3.06 ± 2.16 and 3.09 ± 1.85 cm2 at 3 months postoperatively (p = .839), and 3.02 ± 1.60 and 3.7 cm2 (median) at 1 year postoperatively (p = .043). There was less regurgitation in Group A at the mid-term. Intragroup comparison showed significant differences between the preoperative and postoperative values in both groups, with no difference in the regurgitant area at each postoperative time point in Group A but a significant difference between 3 months and 1 year postoperatively in Group B (p = .042). Multiple linear regression showed that the mid-term mitral regurgitant area changes were negatively correlated with graft flow and positively correlated with age.
CONCLUSION
In patients with MIMR who underwent OPCABG plus off-pump mitral valve annuloplasty, the mitral regurgitant area was smaller and mitral regurgitation recurrence was less frequent at the mid-term follow-up.
