This study was undertaken to determine whether rigidring annuloplasty and flexible-ring annuloplasty have the same effect on left ventricular function in patients with chronic mitral regurgitation secondary to degenerative disease of the mitral valve. Twenty-five patients who underwent isolated mitral valve repair and required annuloplasty were randomized into two groups: rigidring and flexible-ring annuloplasty. Left ventricular function was assessed by echocardiography and radionuclide angiography on the day before operation and 2 to 3 months later. Preoperative left ventricular function was similar in the two groups of patients. Postoperatively, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and volume decreased significantly in both groups. The left ventricular end-systolic diameter and volume decreased significantly only in patients with a flexible annuloplasty ring. Left ventricular systolic function as assessed by pressure-volume relationships was significantly better in patients with a flexible ring (p < 0.02 by analysis of covariance), and left ventricular performance measured by stroke volume-end-diastolic volume relationships was also better in these patients (p < 0.05 by analysis of covariance). These data indicate that patients with a flexible annuloplasty ring have better left ventricular systolic function than patients with a rigid annuloplasty ring 2 to 3 months after mitral valve reconstruction for chronic mitral regurgitation secondary to degenerative disease of the mitral valve.
