BACKGROUND: In patients with ischemic left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) and functional mitral regurgitation (FMR), restoring a more normal alignment between mitral annulus and laterally displaced papillary muscles (PM) may be beneficial in terms of mitral repair and regional dynamics.

METHODS: Ten patients, 29 to 78 years old, with an ejection fraction of 25% to 45%, pulmonary hypertension greater than 60, and New York Heart Association Class III–IV, had their PMs drawn together by a tightly encircling loop using a 4-mm Gore-Tex tube. Associated mitral annuloplasty rings were only moderately undersized. Efficiency was essentially evaluated on reversal of mitral tenting and control of FMR.

RESULTS: Postoperative echocardioraphy revealed changes in "tenting effect" from 14 ± 2.8 mm to 4 ± 1.41 mm. Regurgitation is none to trivial in 9 patients, and mild in 1 patient. The posterior left ventricular wall between the PMs is shortened as a result of the surgical remodeling and may be beneficial on local dynamics.

CONCLUSIONS: Joining the PM side-by-side has an obvious immediate effect on mitral leaflet mobility by suppressing the tethering due to displacement of the PM. An eventual result on local ventricular dynamics needs confirmation.
