abstract = {Background: The clinical benefits of a concomitant mitral valve (MV) surgery in patients with moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation (iMR) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remain controversial.
Methods: The study involved 710 patients (mean age, 65.0±8.9 years; 504 males) with moderate iMR undergoing CABG between 1990 and 2015. Of these, 116 (16.3%) patients underwent a concomitant MV surgery (MVS; replacement in 10, repair in 106) and 594 (83.7%) underwent CABG only. Clinical and echocardiographic outcomes were compared before and after adjustment with the use of propensity score (PS) analyses.
Results: Early mortality occurred in 22 (3.7%) and 13 (11.2%) patients in CABG-only and CABG with MVS group, respectively (P=0.001). After adjustment, CABG with MVS group showed significantly increased risks of early death (P},
