[Analysis of direct results of mitral valve annuloplasty]
Abstract:
In the present-day cardiosurgery there is no doubt that in case of possible plastic operation on the mitral valve the latter must be preserved. In the current literature there are no investigations which could convincingly prove advantages of any single group of techniques of constriction of the fibrous ring when performing mitral reconstructions. The aim of the work was to compare the direct results of reconstructive operations on the mitral valve with the using of three different means of constriction of the fibrous ring. It was found that all the three types of plasty of the mitral valve fibrous ring gave good direct results. Nevertheless an analysis of long-term results is necessary for the assessment of effectiveness of mitral reconstructions in the long-term postoperative period.
