The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognosis and functional outcome of mitral regurgitation caused by ischemic papillary muscle dysfunction with respect to treatment, and to determine the role of coronary angioplasty in this context. Thirty patients with severe ischemic mitral regurgitation were followed up for 33 +/- 3 months. Thirteen patients were treated medically (group I) and 17 patients underwent surgery or angioplasty (group II). The 3-year survival was 59.5% (45.6% in group I and 70.2% in group II). Angioplasty was only used in paroxysmal mitral regurgitation caused by papillary muscle ischemia. This technique resulted in spectacular immediate results in three patients with pulmonary edema caused by mitral regurgitation during myocardial ischemia. Surgical correction of mitral regurgitation should be considered without delay if angioplasty is not feasible or if the regurgitation is permanent or severe. Widening the indications of surgery or angioplasty should result in an improvement of the prognosis of these high-risk patients.
