RIME: Annuloplasty rings boost functional capacity in moderate MR

A small trial suggests that performing mitral-valve repair using an annuloplasty ring on top of elective CABG is superior to CABG alone for improving functional capacity in patients with moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation. But short follow-up and a lack of clinical outcomes mean more answers are needed.
