Prognosis for Mitral Valve Repair Surgery in Functional Mitral Regurgitation.

Purpose: Our aim was to evaluate the development of new significant mitral regurgitation and long-term survival after mitral repair surgery in functional mitral regurgitation.

Methods: A retrospective observational analysis of the recurrence of functional mitral regurgitation (ischemic and nonischemic) and global mortality during follow-up of 176 patients who underwent mitral repair surgery between 1999 and 2018 in our center was conducted.

Results: The etiology of functional mitral regurgitation was ischemic in 55.
