Impact of nonoperative therapy on the clinical management of peripheral arterial disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The impact of mitral regurgitation (MR) on elderly patients (> or = 70 years) undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) is not clearly defined. This study investigates the long-term effects of preoperative, moderate MR on survival and functional outcome in elderly AVR patients. METHODS AND RESULTS:...
