ABSTRACT
The best treatment for ventricular functional mitral regurgitation still remains unclear. Papillary muscle tugging approximation (PMTA) is a technique known to preserve function of the sub-valvular apparatus, keeping it functionally in synch with the left ventricle systolic and diastolic dynamics. Herein, we present a case of mitral valve replacement with PMTA in a patient with severely impaired left ventricular function 14 years post initial mitral valve repair, which significantly improved during a course of 4 years after the reoperation without any complications.
