Comparing the Effectiveness of Repairing Versus Replacing the Heart`s Mitral Valve in People With Severe Chronic Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation

Study:

Evaluation of Outcomes Following Mitral Valve Repair/Replacement in Severe Chronic Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation

Rationale:

n/a

Purpose:

People with coronary artery disease (CAD) or people who have had a heart attack may develop a leak in the mitral valve of their heart and may therefore need to undergo surgery to fix the valve. The best way to fix the mitral valve remains undetermined. This study will evaluate whether it is better for people with severe mitral valve leakage to undergo a mitral valve replacement procedure or a mitral valve repair procedure.
