ABSTRACT
Valve saving interventions have a number of advantages over prostheses of the heart valves. An analysis of early results of annuloplasty of the mitral valve fibrous ring with a synthetic band in mitral failute (MF) did not detect any considerable difference in the indices of postoperative MF both in the main and in the control groups (p = 0.257). At the postoperative period lower mean index of residual MF was noted in the group with mixomatous lesion of the valve as compared with the control group (p = 0.004).
