Summary

Open mitral valve repair (OMVP) significantly improves heart function and symptoms in patients with cardiomyopathy and mitral regurgitation (MR). This procedure offers better survival rates for individuals with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (EF).

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Cardiac Surgery
  • Heart Failure Management

Background:

  • Volume overload from mitral regurgitation (MR) in cardiomyopathy exacerbates ventricular dysfunction.
  • Open mitral valve repair (OMVP) aims to alleviate left ventricular volume overload, potentially improving symptoms and function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of OMVP in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and low left ventricular ejection fraction (EF).
  • To assess the impact of OMVP on ventricular function, patient symptomatology, and survival rates.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 81 patients undergoing OMVP with EF < 0.30 between 1984-1997.
  • Comparison of preoperative and postoperative ejection fraction (EF) and NYHA class.
  • Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate risk factor assessment.

Main Results:

  • OMVP significantly improved EF (0.24 to 0.32) and NYHA class (3.2 to 1.6) (P < 0.0001).
  • Surgery mortality was 11%, with higher rates in patients over 70.
  • Overall 5-year survival probability was 38%; risk factors for death included heart failure and advanced age.

Conclusions:

  • OMVP is effective in improving ventricular function and medium-term symptomatology in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and MR.
  • The procedure appears to enhance survival rates for this patient population.
