Mitral Valve Repair and Anomalous Origin of Circumflex Artery: To Ring or Not to Ring.

ABSTRACT: We describe a case of an adult patient with mitral valve regurgitation and the anomalous origin and course of the left circumflex coronary artery. Use of a ringless procedure or a microinvasive approach, such as transapical neochordae implantation, would have possibly avoided a life-threatening post-operative complication. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Left circumflex artery injury following surgical mitral valve replacement: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundMitral valve (MV) repair or replacement surgery is indicated for a variety of conditions. Although uncommon, damage to the left circumflex (LCx) coronary artery, which courses in close proximity to the MV annulus, is a devastating complication.Case summaryThis report describes the case of a 63-year-old woman following re-operative MV replacement. Shortly after being transferred to the surgical intensive care unit after MV replacement, her EKG was notable for persistent inferolateral ST-segment elevations and reciprocal ST-segment depressions. Emergency transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction of 35-40% and mid to distal lateral wall motion hypokinesis. She was emergently taken to the cardiac catheterization laboratory where coronary angiography demonstrated complete occlusion of her mid LCx artery. She underwent urgent percutaneous coronary intervention of the lesion and was started on dual antiplatelet treatment, anticoagulation for comorbid atrial fibrillation, as well as guideline directed medical therapy with improvement in her EKG changes and cardiac function.ConclusionPrompt diagnosis and recognition of LCx injury is crucial. Management involves immediate percutaneous recanalization or surgical coronary bypass grafting.

Mitral valve annulus and circumflex artery: In vivo study of anatomical zones.

Project description:ObjectiveTo provide, with the use of preoperative coronary computed tomography angiography, an in vivo anatomical characterization of the relationship between the circumflex artery and mitral valve annulus to identify different risk classes and to increase the surgical awareness of those anatomical relations.MethodsNinety-five (mean age: 64.2 ± 11.7) consecutive patients, initially referred for elective minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, underwent preoperative coronary computed tomography angiography. The distance between the circumflex artery and mitral annulus was assessed using 6 points designed on the posterior mitral annulus, starting from the anterolateral to the posteromedial commissure; this design created an ideal 5-zone system. High-risk anatomy was defined as a distance less than 3 mm between the circumflex artery and the mitral valve annulus.ResultsThe shortest distance between the circumflex artery and mitral valve annulus was observed at the area between the anterolateral commissure and the midpoint of P1 scallop, so-called zone 1 (5.49 ± 3.13 mm), whereas the longest distance occurred at zone 5 (12.03 ± 4.93). Twenty-four patients (25%) were identified with high-risk anatomy (mean distance 1.94 ± 0.8 mm). Left dominant and co-dominant hearts demonstrated a shorter circumflex artery-mitral valve annulus distance at all the zones. At multinomial logistic regression, the pattern of coronary dominance and the size of the circumflex artery were independent factors for high-risk anatomy.ConclusionsCoronary computed tomography angiography is a useful investigation to identify patients at risk of circumflex artery flow disturbance; for high-risk anatomy, this knowledge may enhance a safer operative technique.

Successful mitral valve-in-ring repair of mitral annuloplasty ring dehiscence causing severe mitral regurgitation: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAnnuloplasty failure caused by ring dehiscence can lead to trans-ring and para-ring mitral regurgitation (MR). Transcatheter treatments are available for patients at prohibitive risk of surgery. In patients unsuitable for edge-to-edge repair, valve-in-ring (ViR) transcatheter mitral valve (MV) implantation has been described to treat trans-ring or para-ring jets but not both concurrently.Case summaryA 78-year-old male presented with severe MR due to dehiscence of a 34 mm Edwards Physio II mitral annuloplasty ring. Transoesophageal echocardiography showed two jets of regurgitation; trans-ring and para-ring. Repair was successfully undertaken with a ViR procedure (29 mm S3 Edwards Lifesciences).DiscussionPatients with failure of MV annuloplasty with trans-ring and para-ring regurgitation can be safely and effectively treated by ViR transcatheter MV implantation.

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery as a rare cause of mitral valve prolapse: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundMitral valve prolapse (MVP) is an etiologically heterogeneous disorder. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of the underlying disease are of great significance. Herein, we present a rare case of MVP caused by anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA).Case presentationA 22-year-old female presented with a 16-year history of anterior mitral leaflet prolapse. However, she had never experienced any discomfort before. At a routine follow-up, a transthoracic echocardiogram showed anterior mitral leaflet prolapse (A2) with moderate mitral regurgitation, and a retrograde blood flow from an extremely dilated left coronary artery (LCA). Further coronary angiography and coronary computed tomography angiography confirmed the diagnosis of ALCAPA. She subsequently underwent successful LCA reimplantation and concomitant mitral valve replacement. Intraoperatively, her mitral annulus was mildly dilated, anterior mitral valve leaflet appeared markedly thickened with rolled edges, and a chordae tendineae connecting the anterior leaflet (A2) was ruptured and markedly shortened.ConclusionsALCAPA is a rare and potentially life-threatening congenital coronary artery anomaly that may cause mitral valve prolapse. Echocardiogram is an important screening tool for this disorder.

Phasic disappearance of left circumflex coronary artery from an early complication of mitral valve surgery.

Project description:LV pseudoaneurysm can be a late complication of mitral valve replacement. In our case, it was an early postoperative complication. This pseudoaneurysm was causing compression of LCX artery during systole, leading to presentation of NSTEMI two weeks after the surgery.

Surgical repair of mitral valve regurgitation with anomalous unilateral single pulmonary vein

Project description:We report a case of surgically repaired symptomatic mitral valve regurgitation (MR) in a 61-year-old woman with anomalous unilateral single pulmonary vein. A two-staged surgery was scheduled; first a catheter embolization of anomalous vessel to avoid recirculation of the blood into the left atrium during cardiopulmonary bypass, and second a mitral valve repair via right lateral thoracotomy. Learning objective Scimitar sign is a horn-like shape on plain chest radiograph. One of the possible diagnoses is partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (APVR), which often requires surgical interventions due to comorbidities of congenital heart disease and recurrent pneumonia [1–3]. Another is anomalous unilateral single pulmonary vein (AUSPV), which is generally asymptomatic, and therefore, requires no medical interventions. This case addresses the advantage of multidetector computed tomography (CT) and the safety of two-staged strategy.
