Project description:ObjectivesAmong patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve repair with the MitraClip device, a relevant proportion (2-6%) requires open mitral valve surgery within 1 year after unsuccessful clip implantation. The goal of this review is to pool data from different reports to provide a comprehensive overview of mitral valve surgery outcomes after the MitraClip procedure and estimate in-hospital and follow-up mortality.MethodsAll published clinical studies reporting on surgical intervention for a failed MitraClip procedure were evaluated for inclusion in this meta-analysis. The primary study outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes were in-hospital adverse events and follow-up mortality. Pooled estimate rates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of study outcomes were calculated using a DerSimionian-Laird binary random-effects model. To assess heterogeneity across studies, we used the Cochrane Q statistic to compute I2 values.ResultsOverall, 20 reports were included, comprising 172 patients. Mean age was 70.5 years (95% CI 67.2-73.7 years). The underlying mitral valve disease was functional mitral regurgitation in 50% and degenerative mitral regurgitation in 49% of cases. The indication for surgery was persistent or recurrent mitral regurgitation (grade >2) in 93% of patients, whereas 6% of patients presented with mitral stenosis. At the time of the operation, 80% of patients presented in New York Heart Association functional class III-IV. Despite favourable intraoperative results, in-hospital mortality was 15%. The rate of periprocedural cerebrovascular accidents was 6%. At a mean follow-up of 12 months, all-cause death was 26.5%. Mitral valve replacement was most commonly required because the possibility of valve repair was jeopardized, likely due to severe valve injury after clip implantation.ConclusionsSurgical intervention after failed transcatheter mitral valve intervention is burdened by high in-hospital and 1-year mortality, which reflects reflecting the high-risk baseline profile of the patients. Mitral valve replacement is usually required due to leaflet injury.

Project description:An air embolism (AE) is a rare but dreaded complication during endovascular procedures. Current guidance recommends hyperbaric oxygen therapy and aspiration for the management of a venous AE. However, the management of an arterial AE is much less described. We report a case of a 79-year-old man with symptomatic mitral regurgitation who underwent a MitraClip procedure. During the intervention, a massive AE was detected in the ascending aorta on transesophageal echocardiography. The AE was successfully aspirated while the patient remained hemodynamically stable. This report demonstrates the efficacy of an arterial AE's aspiration with a real-time echocardiography recording of the technique.

Project description:Aortic dissection is a rare but potentially fatal complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Management strategies of PCI induced dissection are not clearly identified in literature; such occurrences often mandate surgical repair of the aortic root with reimplantation of the coronary arteries. Another trend seen in case reports is the use of coronary-aortic stenting if such lesions permit. Several factors impact the management decision including the hemodynamic stability of the patient; mechanism of aortic injury; size, severity, and direction of propagation of the dissection; presence of an intimal flap; and preexisting atherosclerotic disease. We describe a case of a 65-year-old woman who underwent PCI for a chronic right coronary artery (RCA) occlusion, which was complicated by aortic dissection and pericardial effusion. Our case report suggests that nonsurgical management may also be appropriate for PCI induced dissections, and potentially even those associated with new pericardial effusion.

Project description:BackgroundTranscatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair using the MitraClip device is increasingly used for high surgical risk patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR). Previous guidelines for infective endocarditis prophylaxis prior to dental procedures focused on high-risk patients, but without explicit recommendation for MitraClip recipients. We believe this could be the first reported case to identify Streptococcus oralis as the causative organism.Case presentationAn 87-year-old male with severe MR treated with two MitraClip devices three months prior to index admission, presented with worsening malaise and intermittent chills on a background of multiple comorbid conditions. The patient had dental work a month prior to presentation, including a root canal procedure, without antibiotic prophylaxis. Vitals were significant for fever and hypotension. On physical examination, there was a holosystolic murmur at the apex radiating to the axilla, bilateral pitting edema in the lower extremities, and elevated jugular venous pulsation. A transthoracic echocardiogram showed severe MR with a possible echodensity on the mitral valve, prompting a transesophageal echocardiogram, which demonstrated a pedunculated, mobile mass on the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve. Five blood cultures grew gram positive cocci in pairs and chains, later identified as Streptococcus oralis, with minimum inhibitory concentration to penicillin 0.06 mg/L. Initial empiric antibiotics were switched to ceftriaxone 2 gr daily and subsequent blood cultures remained negative. However, the patient developed pulmonary edema and worsening hemodynamic instability requiring vasopressors. As surgical risk for re-operation was considered prohibitive, the decision was made to continue medical management and comfort-directed care. The patient died a week later.ConclusionsDespite low incidence, infective endocarditis should be included in the differential among MitraClip recipients. The explicit inclusion of this growing patient population in the group requiring prophylaxis prior to dental procedures in the 2020 ACC/AHA valvular heart disease guidelines is an important step forward.

Project description:Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) is an effective therapy for high-risk patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) but heart failure (HF) readmissions and death remain substantial on mid-term follow-up. Recently, right ventricular (RV) to pulmonary arterial (PA) coupling has emerged as a relevant prognostic predictor in HF. In this study, we aimed to assess the prognostic value of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) to PA systolic pressure (PASP) ratio as a non-invasive measure of RV-to-PA coupling in patients undergoing TMVR with MitraClip (Abbott, CA, USA). Multicentre registry including 228 consecutive patients that underwent successful TMVR with MitraClip. The sample was divided in two groups according to TAPSE/PASP median value: 0.35. The primary combined endpoint encompassed HF readmissions and all-cause mortality. Mean age was 72.5 ± 11.5 years and 154 (67.5%) patients were male. HF readmissions and all-cause mortality were more frequent in patients with TAPSE/PASP ≤ 0.35: Log-Rank 8.844, p = 0.003. On Cox regression, TAPSE/PASP emerged as a prognostic predictor of the primary combined endpoint, together with STS-Score. TAPSE/PASP was a better prognostic predictor than either TAPSE or PASP separately. TAPSE/PASP ratio appears as a novel prognostic predictor in patients undergoing MitraClip implantation that might improve risk stratification and candidate selection.

Project description:Background and aimsGI tract perforations during endoscopy can lead to serious adverse events such as tension pneumoperitoneum. In such cases, intraprocedural percutaneous needle decompression can be a lifesaving technique, in addition to allowing procedure completion. The aim of this study is to review the indications for percutaneous needle decompression and provide a step-by-step procedural guide with case examples.MethodsThis review article and accompanying video review the technique for percutaneous needle decompression for pneumoperitoneum during endoscopy-related perforation, providing a step-by-step procedural guide illustrated with 2 case examples.ResultsIn both case examples, intraprocedural needle decompression resulted in rapid normalization of hemodynamics and allowed time to safely complete the procedures after endoscopic closure of the perforation.ConclusionsEarly recognition of pneumoperitoneum followed by intraprocedural percutaneous needle decompression with a large-bore catheter can allow time for defect closure and procedure completion or can serve as a temporizing measure until surgical intervention. Endoscopists should be comfortable performing this lifesaving technique in cases of endoscopy-related perforation and/or pneumoperitoneum.

Project description:BackgroundTranscatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TMVr) has been developed as an alternative therapeutic approach to patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) at high-surgical risks. Single leaflet device attachment (SLDA) is a well-known complication after the TMVr procedure, while an autopsy case experiencing haemolytic anaemia has been scarcely reported.Case summaryA 79-year-old woman presented with New York Heart Association Class 3 congestive heart failure due to severe MR. The Heart Team planned TMVr using the MitraClip considering a high-surgical risk due to the history of open-chest surgery. The procedure was successful with two clips and a significant reduction of MR was confirmed. On the 12th day after the procedure, congestive heart failure was worsened and a transthoracic echocardiogram revealed severe MR suggestive of SLDA. Blood test showed normocytic anaemia with serum lactate dehydrogenase level elevation and renal function deterioration. We diagnosed as mechanical haemolysis induced by recurrent MR because of a decrease in serum haptoglobin level and the presence of schizocyte in the blood smear. Despite our intensive medical treatment, she died on the 119th day after the procedure. The pathological autopsy demonstrated that the ruptured leaflet was thickened with layered structure and severe fibrosis, while there were no findings of calcification, vegetations, or abscesses.DiscussionSingle leaflet device attachment and subsequent mechanical haemolysis are rare but fatal complications after TMVr with the MitraClip. Not only degenerative MR but also functional MR may be associated with valve leaflet degeneration. A possibility of mechanical haemolysis should be considered when recurrent MR is observed after TMVr.
