Patients
From Jan 2006 to Dec 2020, 112 consecutive patients with postinfarction
VSR underwent VSR repairs and were included in the study with an average
follow-up of 65 months. The primary endpoint was postoperative 30-days
mortality, and secondary endpoints included critical preoperative status
and composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: cardiac
death, myocardial infarction, and cerebral vascular accident ) during
follow-up. Clinical and follow-up data were obtained by abstracting the
hospital medical records and by phone.
