Late perforation of anterior mitral leaflet after surgical resection of the subaortic membrane.

ABSTRACT: A 54-year-old woman who underwent surgical resection of the subaortic membrane 10 years earlier presented with new onset dyspnea. Cardiovascular examination revealed 3-4/6 pansystolic murmur at the apex. She was found to have severe mitral regurgitation (MR) with transthoracic echocardiography; 2D and real-time-3D transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated severe MR through anterior mitral leaflet perforation with precise localization. The patient was treated with surgery in which the perforated segment was closed by direct suture technique and discharged on postoperative 5th day. .

Project description:BACKGROUND:Carpentier's techniques for degenerative posterior mitral leaflet prolapse have been established with excellent long-term results reported. However, residual mitral regurgitation (MR) occasionally occurs even after a straightforward repair, though the involved mechanisms are not fully understood. We sought to identify specific preoperative echocardiographic findings associated with residual MR after a posterior mitral leaflet repair. METHODS AND RESULTS:We retrospectively studied 117 consecutive patients who underwent a primary mitral valve repair for isolated posterior mitral leaflet prolapse including a preoperative 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography examination. Twelve had residual MR after the initial repair, of whom 7 required a corrective second pump run, 4 underwent conversion to mitral valve replacement, and 1 developed moderate MR within 1 month. Their preoperative parameters were compared with those of 105 patients who had an uneventful mitral valve repair. There were no hospital deaths. Multivariate analysis identified preoperative anterior mitral leaflet tethering angle as a significant predictor for residual MR (odds ratio, 6.82; 95% confidence interval, 1.8-33.8; P=0.0049). Receiver operator characteristics curve analysis revealed a cut-off value of 24.3° (area under the curve, 0.77), indicating that anterior mitral leaflet angle predicts residual MR. In multivariate regression analysis, smaller anteroposterior mitral annular diameter (P<0.001) and lower left ventricular ejection fraction (P=0.002) were significantly associated with higher anterior mitral leaflet angle, whereas left ventricular and left atrial dimension had no significant correlation. CONCLUSIONS:Anterior mitral leaflet tethering in cases of posterior mitral leaflet prolapse has an adverse impact on early results following mitral valve repair. The findings of preoperative 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography are important for consideration of a careful surgical strategy.
