Complex and multilevel left ventricular outflow tract obstruction: What can 3D echocardiography add?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Subaortic obstruction by a membrane or systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve leaflets is usually suspected in young patients, especially if the anatomy of the aortic valve is not clearly stenotic and unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy exists in the context of high transaortic gradients.

Main body

In certain circumstances, some patients show both aortic and subaortic stenotic lesions of variable severity. Doppler echocardiography can help in grading severity in the case of single-level obstruction but not in patients with multilevel obstruction where the continuity equation is of no value. Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography allows "en-face" visualization of each level of the aortic valve and subaortic tract; in addition, direct planimetry of the areas can be done using multiplanar reformatting.

Conclusions

Accordingly, 3D echocardiography plays a crucial role in the assessment in patients with multilevel left ventricular outflow tract obstruction as it can accurately delineate the location and size, and severity of the stenosis.

An unusual cause of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Project description:Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) has been reported with bio-prosthetic and mechanical mitral valves (MV), though it is more common with the former. The obstruction can be dynamic or fixed. We hereby report a case of fixed LVOTO following bio-prosthetic MV replacement (MVR).

Unstable angina complicated with dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Project description:Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) complicated with unstable angina (uAP) has not been described widely, but patients with these two conditions have several problems. Differentiation of the two conditions is also often difficult because the chest symptoms are similar. Moreover, nitrates are commonly used for ischemic heart disease, but have the effect of worsening LVOTO. We experienced three cases of dynamic LVOTO with a sigmoid-shaped septum, and without typical hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, that were complicated with uAP. In all cases, LVOTO was improved after initial percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the left anterior descending artery lesion. Next, a dobutamine stress test was performed and LVOTO was provoked again in two cases, but not in a case with small acute myocardial infarction of the basal septum during PCI. All cases remained asymptomatic with beta-blocker therapy. Therefore, PCI and beta-blocker administration for LVOTO with uAP resulted in favorable clinical courses in all three cases. These outcomes suggest that revascularization including PCI should have priority in the therapeutic strategy for a case of acute coronary syndrome with LVOTO.

Dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction Exacerbated by Thoracic Kyphosis.

Project description:We present a 74-year-old woman with kyphosis and symptoms of pre/syncope. Heart catheterization revealed dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (DLVOTO) with Brockenbrough Braunwald response only when kyphotic posture was assumed. She had a positive response to metoprolol. DLVOTO is a challenging diagnosis in the absence of resting LVOTO. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Management of Complex Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction: A Comparison of Konno and Modified Konno Techniques.

Project description:Management of complex left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) can be achieved with a Konno or Modified Konno procedure to enlarge the LVOT. We hypothesized that patients who undergo a Modified Konno procedure would have a higher rate of LVOT re-intervention compared to the Konno procedure. Patients who underwent a Konno or Modified Konno procedure for LVOTO at a single tertiary care center between 1990 and 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome was LVOT re-intervention post-discharge from index Konno or Modified Konno procedure. Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier estimates were used for time-to-event analysis of LVOT re-interventions, any unplanned re-interventions, and transplant-free survival. The study included 122 patients: 51 (41.8%) in the Konno group and 71 (58.2%) in the Modified Konno group. Median age at surgery was 8.2 (IQR 3-16) years in the Konno group and 3.9 (IQR 1.5-11) years in the Modified Konno group. Multiple left heart lesions were less prevalent in Modified Konno patients. There were 36 (29.5%) patients with LVOT re-interventions: 8 (16%) in the Konno group and 28 (39.4%) in the Modified Konno group (p = 0.01). Transplant-free survival at five years was 87.2% for the Konno group and 93.5% for the Modified Konno group. A higher rate of LVOT re-intervention was found in the Modified Konno group although the Konno and Modified Konno techniques were applied to different patient populations. This finding suggests that careful preoperative decision-making can direct therapy appropriately and that fundamental diagnosis affects procedure choice.

Spatial relationship between mitral valve and ventricular septum assessed by resting echocardiography to diagnose left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Project description:AimsEchocardiographic diagnosis of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) often requires extensive provocative manoeuvers. We investigated, whether echocardiography-derived parameters obtained at rest can aid to determine the presence of LVOTO in persons with HCM.Methods and resultsConsecutive patients with HCM admitted to a referral centre underwent standardized transthoracic echocardiographic examination including provocative manoeuvers. Under resting conditions, the length of mitral leaflets and distances between mitral valve coordinates and ventricular walls were blindly measured in parasternal long axis (PLAX) and apical three-chamber (3ch) views, both at early and late systole. Among 142 patients (mean age 59 ± 13 years, 42% women), 68 (42%) had resting or provocable LVOTO with maximal LVOT gradients ≥30 mmHg. Late-systolic distance between mitral leaflet tip and ventricular septum (TIS) was measurable in 137 participants (96%) in 3ch view and independently associated with LVOTO in multivariable logistic regression analysis. The area under the ROC curve of TIS for the identification of LVOTO was 0.91 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.87-0.96]. TIS ≤ 14 mm yielded 97% sensitivity and 57% specificity regarding LVOTO. TIS >14 mm ruled out LVOTO with a negative predictive value of 95%. TIS ≤9 mm ruled in LVOTO with a positive predictive value of 92% (sensitivity 73%, specificity 95%). Among 43 patients with TIS between 10 and 14 mm, 35% had LVOTO.ConclusionIn our study, the novel echocardiographic parameter TIS showed high negative and positive predictive values for LVOTO in HCM. These exploratory results await confirmation in larger collectives and prospective investigations.

Loculated Pericardial Effusion: An Uncommon Cause of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction.

Project description:A patient with a previous lung transplant and aortic valve replacement had progressive dyspnea. He presented with subacute tamponade secondary to a loculated pericardial effusion that caused impaired left ventricular filling and outflow tract obstruction secondary to distortion of the mitral valve apparatus. We demonstrate the imaging features of this presentation. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
