Abstract:Background
There is no consensus on the treatment strategy for patients with severe atrial functional mitral regurgitation combined with heart failure (HF), with a lack of comparative studies in patients with long‐standing persistent atrial fibrillation and severe atrial functional mitral regurgitation. We aim to compare mitral valve repair combined with the maze procedure with catheter ablation in patients with severe atrial functional mitral regurgitation due to long‐standing persistent atrial fi… Show more
