[A case of ischemic mitral regurgitation treated by mitral annuloplasty (MAP) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)].

A 79-year-old woman with a previous history of myocardial infarction, suffered acute myocardial infarction again. A coronary angiogram revealed triple vessel disease, and a left ventriculogram showed severe mitral regurgitation. The patient fell into cardiogenic shock after cardiac catheterization, and IABP was started. She underwent MAP and saphenous vein bypass grafting to the left anterior descending coronary artery and left circumflex coronary artery. Although the postoperative course was complicated by acute renal failure and respiratory dysfunction, the patient recovered from the operation and was discharged on the 137th postoperative day. Since the operative mortality of conventional valve replacement combined with CABG in ischemic mitral regurgitation has been high, we preferred MAP for this case.
