Causes of the MV incompetence were dilatative cardiomyopathy in 126 patients and ischaemic myocardial disease in 48 patients. Concomitant bypass surgery was performed in 28 patients, and the tricuspid valve was repaired in 68 patients. The mean follow-up was 40 \u00b1 28.2 months. There was no 30-day mortality. In-hospital mortality was 1.2% (n = 2); late mortality was 10.9% (n = 19). At 8 years, overall survival was 62.48%, freedom from moderate or severe recurrent mitral regurgitation was 91.9% and freedom from reoperation due to MV insufficiency was 97.1%.<\/jats:p>\n
