Background<br />

The optimal surgical treatment in functional ischemic mitral regurgitation(FIMR) remains controversial. Recently, a<br />

posterior papillary muscle relocation(PMR) technique as adjunct procedure to ring annuloplasty has been proposed<br />

to prevent recurrent FIMR. In the present study we used 3D cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to assess the<br />

impact of relocating both papillary muscles as adjunct procedure to down-sized ring annuloplasty on mitral leaflet<br />

coaptation geometry in FIMR pigs.<br />

Methods<br />

Eleven FIMR pigs were randomized to down-sized ring annuloplasty(RA, n= 6) or RA combined with PMR(RA+PMR,<br />

n=5). In the RA+PMR group a 2-0 Gore-tex suture was attached to each trigone, exteriorized through the<br />

corresponding papillary muscle, mounted on an epicardial pad and tightened to relocate the myocardium adjacent to<br />

the anterior and posterior papillary muscles 5 and 15 mm, respectively. Using 3D magnetic resonance imaging the<br />

impact from these interventions on leaflet geometry was assessed.<br />
