Dataset Information

Isolated adult congenital uni-leaflet severe mitral valve stenosis, a case report, and review of literature.

ABSTRACT: Reported cases of uni-leaflet mitral valve (MV) were related to the absence or dysplasia of the posterior mitral leaflet with ample anterior mitral leaflet. We present here a new entity of uni-leaflet MV where the MV appears as a membrane-like structure with a single slit-like orifice at its lateral part with no commissures.

Case report

Continuous Doppler flow revealed a mean pressure gradient of 19?mmHg across the mitral valve indicating severe mitral stenosis. In 3D images from the left atrial view, the MV appeared like a membrane with a single orifice in its lateral part toward the left atrial appendage, the area of this orifice by 3D was 0.52?cm², there were no commissures or even any residual lines at the site where commissures should be. The diagnosis of congenital severe mitral stenosis due to acommissural MV was confirmed. During surgery, the surgical appearance of the MV confirmed our diagnosis by 3D.

Conclusion

Isolated congenital severe mitral stenosis presenting in adulthood is rare, uni-leaflet MV as a cause is only reported in a few cases. MV replacement is usually indicated due to the abnormal anatomy of MV leaflets and the subvalvular apparatus.<Learning objectives: How to diagnose uni-leaflet congenital mitral stenosis and how to differentiate it from other causes of congenital mitral stenosis.>.

Project description:Rationale: Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is frequently observed following myocardial infarction (MI) and is associated with higher mortality and poor clinical prognosis if left untreated. Accumulating evidence suggests that mitral valve (MV) leaflets actively remodel post-MI, yet the cellular mechanisms underlying these responses and how this affects tissue function remain largely unknown. Objective: We sought to elucidate MV remodeling post-MI at the tissue, cellular, and transcriptomic levels. Methods and Results: The mechanical behavior of ovine MV leaflets pre-MI and 8 weeks post-MI reveal a significant decrease in radial direction extensibility, which essentially eliminated the mechanical anisotropy typically observed in healthy MVs. Quantitative histology and ultrastructural assessment by transmission electron microscopy revealed altered leaflet composition and architecture at 8 weeks post-MI. Assessment of the MV interstitial cell (MVIC) nuclear aspect ratio, a metric of cellular deformation, revealed that MVICs were on average rounder following MI. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) indicated that YAP-induced genes were elevated at 4 weeks post-MI and genes related to extracellular matrix organization were some of the most downregulated in sheep with IMR compared to sheep without IMR at 4 weeks post-MI. Additionally, RNA-seq revealed the possible recruitment of immune cells in this remodeling process due to the drastic elevation of CXCL9 and CLEC10A. Conclusions: This multiscale assessment revealed significant mechanical and microstructural changes due to MI. RNA-seq provided a baseline for global gene expression changes in response to MI with and without IMR and suggests YAP-induced mechanotransduction, altered expression of ECM-related genes, and recruitment of immune cells as mechanisms contributing to altered MV biomechanics post-MI.
