Commentary: Ischemic mitral regurgitation: From annular restriction to papillary approximation, is it time to reconsider the lost technique?

[摘要] The undersizing annuloplasty popularized by Bolling and colleagues1 for ischemic mitral regurgitation is criticized for being an annular solution to a ventricular problem with significant regurgitation recurrence.2-4 This was confirmed in a randomized trial comparing repair and replacement.5 A ventricular repair for ischemic mitral regurgitation was first reported by Kron and colleagues6 with posterior papillary muscle relocation, but it was Hvass and colleagues7 who proposed the papillary muscle sling.
