We studied surgical results of 14 cases of ischemic mitral regurgitation. There was no surgical death in 10 cases with left ventricular aneurysm, and their clinical symptoms improved except 3 with the combined operation of left ventricular aneurysmectomy, mitral annuloplasty and bypass grafting. The range of the abnormal contracting segment significantly decreased after surgery except in 3 cases in whom clinical status was not improved. Three of 4 cases which underwent bypass grafting and mitral annulo-valvuloplasty survived, but one of them died of graft-versus-host disease. In the three survived cases, severe mitral regurgitation disappeared. We have concluded as follows: In cases of left ventricular aneurysm, a sufficient aneurysmal resection is very important to control the mitral regurgitation, and the additional procedures of mitral annuloplasty and bypass grafting are essential. The mitral valve replacement is recommended in case of the complete disruption of the papillary muscle. Mitral valvuloplasty combined with annuloplasty is suitable to control the regurgitation in the regional mitral prolapse due to the torn chordae.
