A 57-year-old male with ascending aortic aneurysm, severe aortic regurgitation, and severe mitral regurgitation (MR) underwent ascending aortic replacement and aortic valve replacement. MR in this patient with normal mitral valve morphology was considered secondary to aortic valve incompetency. Consequently, a surgical approach to restore aortic valve function was adopted with successful MR resolution. This case report demonstrates the possibility of reversing early functional mitral regurgitation without surgically approaching the mitral valve.
一名57岁男性，患有升主动脉瘤、严重主动脉瓣反流和严重二尖瓣反流（MR），接受了升主动脉置换和主动脉瓣置换术。该患者二尖瓣形态正常，其MR被认为是继发于主动脉瓣功能不全。因此，采取了恢复主动脉瓣功能的手术方法，成功解决了MR问题。本病例报告表明，在不手术处理二尖瓣的情况下，逆转早期功能性二尖瓣反流是有可能的。
