Abstract

Background: Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is associated with diminished survival prospects. Ringless edge-to-edge mitral valve repair is usually performed in association with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In this report, we present our early results for ringless edge-to-edge repair and concomitant CABG.
