Transvalvular mitral regurgitation following mitral valve replacement a diagnostic dilemma.

ABSTRACT: After mitral valve replacement with a prosthetic valve, the valve should be competent and there should not be any residual prosthetic valve regurgitation. Transvalvular residual prosthetic valve regurgitation are difficult to diagnose and quantify. we are reporting interesting TEE images as a diagnostic dilemma in a case of transvalvular mitral regurgitation following mitral valve replacement secondary to entrapment of sub-valvular apparatus in a Chitra mechanical heart valve.

Project description:BackgroundIschemic mitral regurgitation is associated with a substantial risk of death. Practice guidelines recommend surgery for patients with a severe form of this condition but acknowledge that the supporting evidence for repair or replacement is limited.MethodsWe randomly assigned 251 patients with severe ischemic mitral regurgitation to undergo either mitral-valve repair or chordal-sparing replacement in order to evaluate efficacy and safety. The primary end point was the left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI) at 12 months, as assessed with the use of a Wilcoxon rank-sum test in which deaths were categorized below the lowest LVESVI rank.ResultsAt 12 months, the mean LVESVI among surviving patients was 54.6±25.0 ml per square meter of body-surface area in the repair group and 60.7±31.5 ml per square meter in the replacement group (mean change from baseline, -6.6 and -6.8 ml per square meter, respectively). The rate of death was 14.3% in the repair group and 17.6% in the replacement group (hazard ratio with repair, 0.79; 95% confidence interval, 0.42 to 1.47; P=0.45 by the log-rank test). There was no significant between-group difference in LVESVI after adjustment for death (z score, 1.33; P=0.18). The rate of moderate or severe recurrence of mitral regurgitation at 12 months was higher in the repair group than in the replacement group (32.6% vs. 2.3%, P<0.001). There were no significant between-group differences in the rate of a composite of major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events, in functional status, or in quality of life at 12 months.ConclusionsWe observed no significant difference in left ventricular reverse remodeling or survival at 12 months between patients who underwent mitral-valve repair and those who underwent mitral-valve replacement. Replacement provided a more durable correction of mitral regurgitation, but there was no significant between-group difference in clinical outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundThe improvement rate and predictors of secondary mitral regurgitation in patients with aortic regurgitation undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remain unclear. This study aimed to identify predictors of persistent moderate to severe secondary mitral regurgitation after TAVR in patients with aortic regurgitation by assessing mitral valve geometry with computed tomography (CT).MethodsThis retrospective cohort study reviewed 242 consecutive patients with aortic regurgitation who underwent TAVR between May 2014 and December 2022. Patients with primary or less than moderate mitral regurgitation were excluded. Mitral annular dimensions (area, perimeter, anteroposterior, intercommissural, and trigone-to-trigone diameter), mitral valve tenting geometry (mitral valve tenting area [MVTA] and mitral valve tenting height [MVTH]), and papillary muscle displacement were systematically measured at CT. Mitral regurgitation improvement was assessed at 3 months after TAVR by echocardiography. Logistic regression was performed to explore the association of mitral valve geometry with mitral regurgitation improvement after TAVR.ResultsA total of 75 patients (mean age, 74 ± 7 years; 32.0% female) with moderate to severe secondary mitral regurgitation were included in the final analysis. Mitral regurgitation improved in 49 patients and remained unchanged in 26 patients. Mitral annular dimensions, including area, perimeter, anteroposterior, and intercommissural diameter, were associated with mitral regurgitation improvement. MVTA and MVTH were risk factors for sustained mitral regurgitation. In addition, QRS duration > 120 ms and atrial fibrillation had an impact on the mitral regurgitation improvement. Mitral annular area (odds ratio [OR], 1.41; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05, 1.90; p = 0.02) and MVTA (OR, 7.24; 95% CI: 1.72, 30.44; p = 0.007) were independent predictors of persistent secondary mitral regurgitation after TAVR.ConclusionsMitral annular area and MVTA were independent predictors of persistent secondary mitral regurgitation after TAVR.
