Abstract

In the mitral regurgitation (MR) accompanied with a serious ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICMP), coronary revascularization to viable myocardium, LV reduction and mitral reconstruction become the main surgery under the bad conditions that the cardiac transplantaton is not so easy. The MR in ischemic cardiomyopathy appears as various pathologic factors, among them, the papillary muscle displacement in addition to the annular dilatation is pointed out as the important cause. Our hospital would like to report the experience of the surgery about coronary revascularization to the left main with 3-vessel coronary disease, severe ICMP patients accompanied with the MR, posterior mitral annuloplasty and papillary muscle plication through the LVtomy.
