Effi cacy of papillary muscle approximation in preventing functional mitral regurgitation recurrence in high-risk patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy and mitral regurgitation

Abstract

iPMD is a valuable index in the riskstratification of the recurrence of post-MAP MR in patients with DCM complicated by FMR.The patients treated with MAP plus PMA had more favourable outcomes and lower recurrence rates than those treated via the traditional route of MAP only.
