Surgical management of moderate chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation (CIMR) is controversial. We propose a simplified classification of moderate CIMR based on regurgitant fraction (RF), ejection fraction (EF), and jet direction (central/eccentric) to predict left ventricle (LV) remodeling and identify patient subsets which need mitral valve (MV) repair along with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
