 abstract={Background: To assess and compare mid-term outcomes and the quality of life (QoL) in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD) and moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR), treated with either coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG; group I) or CABG + mitral annulo-plasty (CABG+MA; group II) in 12-months follow-up after surgery. Methods: We prospectively analyzed 74 patients (50.7% female, 66 [67–72] years) with at least moderate IMR, 3–24 weeks after myocardial infarction (MI). The effective regurgitation orifice (ERO) was used for a quantitative IMR assessment. To evaluate QoL we used a Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire. Results: Patients in group II spent more time in the hospital, expired more infection complications and received more often in-hospital complications requiring use amines and intra-aortic balloon pump as compared to those in group I. Analysis of SF-36 showed that all patients treated surgically notable improved their QoL during 12 months of follow-up. Conclusions: We observed a significant improvement in QoL among patients with MVD in 12 months follow-up after surgery irrespective of treatment type.},
