    Abstract:
    Reconstruction of postinfarction aneurysm of the left ventricle (LV) and plasty of the mitral valve without implantation in combination with coronary shunting or without it were used in 81 patients with ischemic heart disease. Correction of mitral insufficiency was fulfilled in 40 patients by an access via the left atrium, in 41 patients--from the LV in its reconstruction. Lethality in the nearest postoperative period was 3.7%. Mitral insufficiency after operation was absent in 70% of patients with the left atrium access and in 58.5% with the transventricular access, in the rest of the patients the mitral insufficiency was not more than of the II degree. Significant differences between the immediate results depending on the access to the mitral valve were not found.
