Study Summary
This trialtests if a specific method of deciding whether to repair or replace the mitral valve can improve outcomes in IMR.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who can consent and have severe ischemic mitral valve regurgitation, a heart condition where the valve leaks due to coronary artery disease. It's not for those with mixed valve issues or acute cases of this condition.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two approaches: one group gets standard care (valve repair/replacement based on surgeon choice), while the other follows a treatment algorithm deciding between repair or replacement based on specific measurements of the mitral valve.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves surgical procedures, potential side effects include typical surgery risks such as infection, bleeding, reactions to anesthesia, and complications related to heart surgeries.
