Clinical Outcomes of Mitral Annuloplasty with Flexible Bands in Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation.

Background: In this study, we present the outcomes of 53 patients with concomitant coronary artery disease and ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR)who underwent coronary bypass grafting (CABG) plus mitral repair (flexible posterior band annuloplasty).

Materials And Methods: A total of 53 patients with concomitant ischemic mitral regurgitation  and coronary artery disease underwent CABG plus posterior mitral band annuloplasty between June 2008 and June 2015. Flexible Duran AnCore® annuloplasty band (Medtronic) was used in all patients.
