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.
