Core Tip	Moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation should always be considered in patients undergoing other cardiac surgery. Restrictive anuloplasty alone fails as valid treatment because often associated with persistence and high recurrence rate of mitral regurgitation due to continuous ventricular remodeling. Probably more aggressive repair procedures addressing the subvalvular mitral apparatus would help to find more durable results for this complex disease. In the next future new preoperative predictors of increased MR recurrence are certainly needed to find an individual time period of treatment in each patients with moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation.
