16 Chronic IMR is bad IMR is associated with excess mortality independently of baseline characteristics and LV dysfunction. Grigioni F et al. Circulation 2001;103: Hillis GS et al. Am Heart J 2005;150: Koelling TM et al. Am Heart J 2002;144:524-9 Lancellotti P et al. EHJ 2005;26:

17 Leaving IMR is not good Even mild IMR identified by intraop TEE, predicts worse outcomes after CABG. Revascularization alone did not eliminate negative long-term effects of mild IMR. CABG patients with uncorrected mild or moderate IMR are at increased risk for death and heart failure hospitalization; consideration for surgical repair or more aggressive medical management and follow-up is warranted.

Open MVR for MR in the setting of ischemic CMP and low EF appear to improve ventricular function, mid-term symptoms and survival. Prifti et al. J Heart Valv Dis 2001;10: Chen et al. Circ 1998;98:II124-7 Vitali et al. Am J Cardiol 2003;91(Suppl):88F-94F Performance of MVR with CABG was not associated with improved survival vs. CABG alone. Whereas MVR can be added safely to CABG in this high-risk group without increasing mortality, its impact on late survival and functional class may be limited. Trichon et al.
