Meta ‐analysis of results of subvalvular repair for severe ischemic mitral regurgitation

ConclusionsThis meta ‐analysis demonstrated superiority in terms of ventricular remodeling of a combined approach encompassing PMS and MA over MA alone in IMR. Moreover, the association of subvalvular surgery with restrictive MA decreases the incidence of mitral regurgitation recurrence and cardiac‐related events at follow‐up.
