A remnant mitral subvalvular apparatus mimicking aortic valve vegetation after mitral valve replacement.

ABSTRACT: Preservation of the subvalvular apparatus has the merits of postoperative outcomes during mitral valve replacement for mitral regurgitation. We performed mitral valve replacement with anterior and posterior leaflet chordal preservation in a 65-year-old woman. On the 2nd postoperative day, routine postoperative trans-thoracic echocardiography showed an unknown aortic subvalvular mobile mass. We report a case of a remnant mitral subvalvular apparatus detected by echocardiography after chordal preserving mitral valve replacement which was confused with postoperative aortic valve vegetation.

Mitral and aortic regurgitation following transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Project description:To analyse the impact of postprocedural mitral regurgitation (MR), in an interaction with aortic regurgitation (AR), on mortality following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).To assess the interaction between MR and AR, we compared the survival rate of patients (i) without both significant MR and AR versus (ii) those with either significant MR or significant AR versus (iii) with significant MR and AR, all postprocedure. 381 participants of the Polish Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Registry (166 males (43.6%) and 215 females (56.4%), age 78.8±7.4 years) were analysed. Follow-up was 94.1±96.5 days.In-hospital and midterm mortality were 6.6% and 10.2%, respectively. Significant MR and AR were present in 16% and 8.1% patients, including 3.1% patients with both significant MR and AR. Patients with significant versus insignificant AR differed with respect to mortality (log rank p=0.009). This difference was not apparent in a subgroup of patients without significant MR (log rank p=0.80). In a subgroup of patients without significant AR, there were no significant differences in mortality between individuals with versus without significant MR (log rank p=0.44). Significant MR and AR had a significant impact on mortality only when associated with each other (log rank p<0.0001). At multivariate Cox regression modelling concomitant significant MR and AR were independently associated with mortality (OR 3.2, 95% CI 1.54 to 5.71, p=0.002).Significant MR or AR postprocedure, when isolated, had no impact on survival. Combined MR and AR had a significant impact on a patient's prognosis.

Totally endoscopic aortic valve replacement with concomitant trans-aortic mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation.

Project description:BackgroundMinimally invasive aortic valve procedures through a hemi-sternotomy or a right anterior mini-thoracotomy have gained popularity over the last several years. Totally endoscopic aortic valve replacement (TEAVR) is an innovative and a less invasive (incision-wise) surgical aortic valve replacement technique. The operative steps of TEAVR have been reported previously from our group. Mitral regurgitation (MR) frequently accompanies aortic valve disease that at times may also require repair. Totally endoscopic surgery in such cases has not been tested.Presentation of the techniqueWe present a surgical technique for a totally endoscopic approach to aortic valve replacement and concomitant mitral valve repair for primary and secondary MR. An aortotomy incision was used avoiding an atriotomy, which results in an increase in cross-clamp (XC) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) times that could be associated with higher mortality and morbidity. Neochords (artificial chordae tendineae) were used for primary MR and an edge-to-edge approach for secondary MR.ConclusionTEAVR and concomitant mitral valve repair can be performed successfully with reasonable XC and CPB times with excellent short-term results.

Mitral regurgitation after transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Project description:Patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) might have an associated significant MR that can potentially lead to left ventricular (LV) failure after procedure. Considering the specific alterations in the mitral valve in TAVR scenario and the widespread use of TAVR in recent years, it appears important to know and understand the anatomical, functional and clinical implications to develop adequate strategies for the future. Patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) have been generally excluded from randomized clinical trials, making poor the impact that associated MR can have on clinical outcomes after TAVR. Several factors must be considered whose presence influences the severity of MR. For example, the elevated prevalence of coronary disease with consequent ischemic MR may account for LV dilation observed at the end stage of aortic stenosis. Evidence randomized studies and registries suggests that the rate of concomitant moderate-to-severe MR in patients undergoing TAVR oscillates between 2% and 33%, and patients with moderate to severe MR may have hemodynamic frailty with clinical deterioration during mechanical intervention. Short- and long-term outcomes, including cardiac mortality, appear to be influenced by the existence of preoperative moderate-to-severe MR or by the postprocedural worsening of mild MR, generally due to adverse LV remodeling. The incidence and the prognostic effect of concomitant MR in patients undergoing TAVR requires specific attention as might trigger adjunctive strategy treatment which should be carefully evaluated in clinical trials.KeywordsMitral regurgitation (MR); mitral valve; transcatheter aortic valve; transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)

Valve-Sparing Root Replacement: Aortic Root Remodeling with External Subvalvular Ring Annuloplasty.

Project description:The original valve-sparing procedures for aortic root aneurysms were remodeling and reimplantation of the aortic root. The remodeling technique provides more physiologic movement of the cusps within 3 reconstructed neo-sinuses, thus preserving root expansibility through the interleaflet triangles. However, the durability of remodeling has been a matter of concern due to the high rate of aortic insufficiency when annular dilation is not addressed. Therefore, a modified approach was developed, combining a physiologic remodeling of the root with a subvalvular annuloplasty. This case report highlights the first case of successful aortic root remodeling with external subvalvular ring annuloplasty in Korea.

Numerical Biomechanics Models of the Interaction Between a Novel Transcatheter Mitral Valve Device and the Subvalvular Apparatus.

Project description:ObjectiveMitral valve regurgitation (MR) is a common valvular heart disease where improper closing causes leakage. Currently, no transcatheter mitral valve device is commercially available. Raanani (co-author) and colleagues have previously proposed a unique rotational implantation, ensuring anchoring by metallic arms that pull the chordae tendineae. This technique is now being implemented in a novel device design. The aim of this study is to quantify the rotational implantation effect on the mitral annulus kinematics and on the stresses in the chordae and papillary muscles.MethodsFinite element analysis of the rotational step of the implantation in a whole heart model is employed to compare 5 arm designs with varying diameters (25.9 mm to 32.4 mm) and rotation angles (up to 140°). The arm rotation that grabs the chordae was modeled when the valve was in systolic configuration.ResultsAn increase in the rotation angle results in reduced mitral annulus perimeters. Larger rotation angles led to higher chordae stresses with the 29.8 mm experiencing the maximum stresses. The calculated chordae stresses suggest that arm diameter should be <27.8 mm and the rotation angle <120°.ConclusionsThe upper limit of this diameter range is preferred in order to reduce the stresses in the papillary muscles while grabbing more chords. The findings of this study can help improving the design and performance of this unique device and procedural technique.

Two adherent blood cysts in subvalvular apparatus of the mitral valve causing severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Project description:Blood cysts in the heart are often incidentally found during post-mortem examinations in infants, and usually do not cause clinical symptoms. They almost always regress spontaneously, and only a few cases of embolization or valvular dysfunction have been reported previously. We report a 62-year-old man who presented with chest discomfort and dyspnea on exertion for several years, and was found to have a dynamic murmur in left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) on physical examination. His echocardiogram demonstrated two large blood cysts attached to the subvalvular apparatus of mitral valve, causing significant LVOT obstruction and mild to moderate mitral regurgitation. The cysts were surgically excised and pathology confirmed simple blood cysts. <Learning objective: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of twin blood cysts with severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in an adult, since most of these cysts either regress spontaneously in childhood or remain asymptomatic in adults.>.

Iatrogenic mitral stenosis following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Project description:A 57 year old female underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe aortic stenosis. Mild iatrogenic mitral stenosis was noted intraoperatively. Attempts to reposition the device were hampered by aortic angulation. One year later, severe mitral stenosis was confirmed on transoesophageal echocardiography. It is important to recognise that iatorgenic mitral stenosis due to TAVR may progress over time. Care should be taken to minimise the risk of this rare complication.

Abundant dystrophic calcifications mimicking aortic valve abscess in a patient undergoing elective aortic valve replacement.

Project description:Dystrophic calcifications of the aortic valve may cause symptomatic aortic stenosis and account for a significant portion of patients who undergo elective valve replacement. Calcifications appearing grossly as a cloudy fluid surrounding the aortic valve leaflets are an uncommon finding. Normally, calcified aortic valves are characterised by large, nodular masses within the aortic cusps. We report a case of dystrophic calcifications on a stenotic aortic valve encountered intraoperatively, which was suggestive of infective endocarditis and abscess formation. Aortic valve leaflets and necrotic-appearing thymic lymph node tissue were submitted for histology and special stains. Cultures were negative and histology did not show evidence of infection. Tissue histology demonstrated extensive dystrophic calcifications, which were polarised to reveal abundant calcium oxalate crystals. The benign nature of this unique pathological finding ruled out any suspicion of infection, avoiding a prolonged course of intravenous antibiotics in this patient.
