Surgical correction of mitral insufficiency due to integrity damage of chordal-papillary continium: comparison of long-term results

Abstract

The authors present their results concerning surgical treatment of 520 patients using surgical correction of mitral insufficiency due to integrity damage of chordal-papillary continium. All the patients were operated using cardiopulmonary bypass in the period from 01.01.2006-31.12.2015 in different departments of the Mykola Amosov National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery (Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine). All the patients examined were divided into two groups – group A (with mitral valve plastics) and group B (with mitral valve replacement, MVR). Long-term results became known for 487 patients (93.8% of patients discharged).
