title: [Early and long term results of mitral valvuloplasty].
abstract: 46 patients underwent Carpentier's mitral valve repair from 1986 through 2000. There were 15 males and 31 females. The mean age was 30 years. The cause of mitral regurgitation was rheumatic in all cases. According to Carpentier's classification, type II was present in 44% of patients, type III in 16% and type II-III in 40%. Left ventricular dysfunction was present in 10.8% of patients. Immediate echec of mitral valve repair occurred in 2.2% of cases. With a mean follow up of 79.6 months, late mortality was 12.2%. The overall result was excellent or good in 52.5% of cases, fair in 21.4% and poor in 26.2%. Deterioration of the result occurred in 18 patients (44% p Predictive factors of poor early and late results were age more than 40 years and a type III mitral regurgitation.
