The optimal surgical treatment in functional ischemic mitral regurgitation (FIMR) remains controversial. Recently, a posterior papillary muscle relocation (PMR) technique as adjunct procedure to ring annuloplasty has been proposed to prevent recurrent FIMR. In the present study, we used 3D cardiac MRI to assess the impact of relocating both papillary muscles as adjunct procedure to downsized ring annuloplasty on mitral leaflet coaptation geometry in FIMR pigs.
