Project description:We present a rare case of a young patient who underwent a bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement and subsequently experienced a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm complicated by valve dehiscence and paravalvular mitral regurgitation, demonstrated by multimodality imaging and confirmed during surgical repair. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Project description:ObjectivesThe Cardiothoracic Surgical Trials Network recently reported no difference in the primary end point of left ventricular end-systolic volume index at 1 year postsurgery in patients randomized to repair (n = 126) or replacement (n = 125) for severe ischemic mitral regurgitation. However, patients undergoing repair experienced significantly more recurrent mitral regurgitation than patients undergoing replacement (32.6% vs 2.3%). We examined whether baseline echocardiographic and clinical characteristics could identify those who will develop moderate/severe recurrent mitral regurgitation or die.MethodsOur analysis includes 116 patients who were randomized to and received mitral valve repair. Logistic regression was used to estimate a model-based probability of recurrence or death from baseline factors. Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed from these estimated probabilities to determine classification cut-points maximizing accuracy of prediction based on sensitivity and specificity.ResultsOf the 116 patients, 6 received a replacement before leaving the operating room; all other patients had mild or less mitral regurgitation on intraoperative echocardiogram after repair. During the 2-year follow-up period, 76 patients developed moderate/severe mitral regurgitation or died (53 mitral regurgitation recurrences, 13 mitral regurgitation recurrences and death, and 10 deaths). The mechanism for recurrent mitral regurgitation was largely mitral valve leaflet tethering. Our model (including age, body mass index, sex, race, effective regurgitant orifice area, basal aneurysm/dyskinesis, New York Heart Association class, history of coronary artery bypass grafting, percutaneous coronary intervention, or ventricular arrhythmias) yielded an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.82.ConclusionsThe model demonstrated good discrimination in identifying patients who will survive 2 years without recurrent mitral regurgitation after mitral valve repair. Although our results require validation, they offer a clinically relevant risk score for selection of surgical candidates for this procedure.

Project description:BackgroundRecurrent mitral regurgitation (MR) can occur even after successful transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER). While some reports show the utility of repeat clipping for recurrent MR, the results are unsatisfactory. We describe a patient who underwent repeat clipping for MR that recurred from both sides of the original clip.Case summaryAn 89-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with congestive heart failure. Transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiograms (TTE/TEE) revealed severe MR due to A2 (middle segment of the anterior leaflet) prolapse. Because of his high operative risk, we performed TEER. An NTW clip was placed between A2 and P2 (middle scallop of the posterior leaflet), markedly reducing MR to mild. Six months after TEER, he complained of dyspnoea, and severe MR was evident from both sides of the clip. Although the risk of iatrogenic mitral stenosis was considered, we assessed that there might be a chance to succeed in repeat clipping if the additional two clips were placed only in the P2 beside the original clip following a careful review of TEE images. We challenged repeat clipping. After we placed NT clips on each side of the original NTW clip, MR was reduced to mild without creating iatrogenic mitral stenosis, and his symptoms subsequently improved.DiscussionAnatomical features such as no valve thickening at the leaflet's grasping site and the presence of posterior leaflet indentation may increase the likelihood of a successful repeat clipping outcome. Repeat clipping should be considered after careful anatomical assessment, even in patients with challenging anatomy.

Project description:ObjectivesThe current guidelines still do not include specific recommendations on the use of subvalvular repair (SV-r) for treatment of ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR). Therefore, the objective of our study was to evaluate the clinical impact of mitral regurgitation (MR) recurrence and ventricular remodeling on long-term outcomes after SV-r combined with restrictive annuloplasty (RA-r).MethodsWe performed a subanalysis of the papillary muscle approximation trial, studying 96 patients with severe IMR and coronary artery disease undergoing restrictive annuloplasty alongside subvalvular repair (SV-r + RA-r group) or restrictive annuloplasty alone (RA-r group). We analyzed treatment failure differences, the influence of residual MR, left ventricular remodeling, and clinical outcomes. The primary endpoint was treatment failure (composite of death; reoperation; or recurrence of moderate, moderate-to-severe, or severe MR) within 5 years of follow-up after the procedure.ResultsA total of 45 patients showed failure of the treatment within 5 years, of which 16 patients underwent SV-r + RA-r (35.6%) and 29 underwent RA-r (64.4%, p = 0.006). Patients with significant residual MR presented with a higher rate of all-cause mortality at 5 years compared with trivial MR (HR 9.09, 95% CI 2.08-33.33, p = 0.003). MR progression occurred earlier in the RA-r group, as 20 patients in the RA-r group vs. 6 in SV-r + RA-r group had a significant MR 2 years after surgery (p = 0.002).ConclusionsRA-r remains a surgical mitral repair technique with an increased risk of failure and mortality at 5 years compared with SV-r. The rates of recurrent MR are higher, and recurrence occurs earlier, with RA-r alone compared to SV-r. The addition of the subvalvular repair increases the durability of the repair, thus extending all of the benefits of preventing MR recurrence.

Project description:This review outlines the first trial experience with transcatheter therapy for mitral regurgitation (MR), developed from the EVEREST II MitraClip trial in a trial population comprised predominantly of patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR). Subsequent experience with MitraClip and several other devices has been mostly in functional MR patients. At the same time, there has been ongoing experience with MitraClip in DMR, and a variety of other devices have been developed for catheter-based treatment of MR. Annuloplasty devices have been indicated for DMR, and the potential for transcatheter annuloplasty to be used, in conjunction with other catheter techniques, such as chordal replacement, as it is in standard mitral repair, is developing. Transcatheter mitral valve replacement will clearly have some role for MR of both functional and degenerative etiologies, when repair is not feasible or fails. This review will discuss the evidence base and future development of these mitral repair and replacement approaches for DMR.

Project description:Dr. O.P. Yadava, Editor-in-Chief, IJTC, and Dr. J.L. Pomar, Former President, EACTS, discuss issues related to secondary mitral regurgitation (MR). Though it is considered a ventricular disease, mitral valve leaflets are not entirely normal. Alignment of subvalvular apparatus plays a more dominant role than annular dilatation. Early repair is preferred.
