Popis: The objective of this study was to analyze our surgical experiences with mitral valve plasty (MVP) combined with subvalvular procedures (SVPs) for functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) and to determine which preoperative factors affected clinical outcomes. This study retrospectively analyzed 33 patients who underwent MVP combined with SVPs for FMR with a left ventricular ejection fraction lower than 40% and advanced remodeled left ventricles. The mean follow-up period was 49 ± 33 months. The preoperative mean right ventricular fractional area change (RVFAC) used to quantify right ventricular (RV) systolic function was 26 ± 11%. Sixteen patients (48%) had an RVFAC
