Long Term Survival After Surgery for Ischaemic Mitral Regurgitation: A Single Centre Australian
HEART LUNG AND CIRCULATION(2021)
Abstract
Background Ischaemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is associated with an increase in both mortality and congestive heart failure in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Intervention for moderate to severe IMR involves either valve repair or replacement. The ideal option is yet to be fully defined with relatively poor long-term survival being noted in the literature. Method A retrospective observational study was conducted to review the outcomes of patients undergoing CABG in combination with either mitral valve repair (MVr) or mitral valve replacement (MVR) for concurrent coronary artery disease with moderate to severe IMR at The Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane between the years 2002 to 2015. Results One hundred and five (105) patients were included, 81 patients (77%) undergoing CABG and MVr and 24 patients (23%) undergoing CABG and MVR. There was no difference in 30-day mortality between the two groups (1% in MVr and 0% in MVR, p=0.589), however patients in the MVr group were significantly more likely, in univariate and multivariate analysis, to develop at least moderate MR (40% v. 8%, p=0.006). The 5-year survival was 87% and 55% at 10 years. Conclusions In patients undergoing CABG and mitral valve intervention for IMR, long-term mortality remains high. There was no difference in short-or long-term mortality between repair and replacement although recurrence of at least moderate mitral regurgitation was significantly higher with mitral valve repair.
