Aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis represents one of the most frequent surgical procedures on heart valves. These patients often have concomitant mitral regurgitation. To reveal whether the moderate mitral regurgitation will improve after aortic valve replacement alone, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis. We identified 27 studies with 4452 patients that underwent aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis and had co-existent mitral regurgitation. Primary end point was the impact of aortic valve replacement on the concomitant mitral regurgitation. Secondary end points were the analysis of the left ventricle reverse remodeling and long-term survival. Our results showed that there was significant improvement in mitral regurgitation postoperatively (RR, 1.65; 95% CI 1.36–2.00; p < 0.00001) with the average decrease of 0.46 (WMD; 95% CI 0.35–0.57; p < 0.00001). The effect is more pronounced in the elderly population. Perioperative mortality was higher (p < 0.0001) and long-term survival significantly worse (p < 0.00001) in patients that had moderate/severe mitral regurgitation preoperatively. We conclude that after aortic valve replacement alone there are fair chances but for only slight improvement in concomitant mitral regurgitation. The secondary moderate mitral regurgitation should be addressed at the time of aortic valve replacement. A more conservative approach should be followed for elderly and high-risk patients.

Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to assess imaging predictors of mitral regurgitation (MR) improvement and to evaluate the impact of MR regression on long-term outcome in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Background Concomitant MR is a frequent finding in patients with severe aortic stenosis but usually left untreated at the time of TAVR. Methods Mitral regurgitation was graded by transthoracic echocardiography before and after TAVR in 677 consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis. 2-year mortality was related to the degree of baseline and discharge MR. Morphological echo analysis was performed to determine predictors of MR improvement. Results 15.2% of patients presented with baseline MR ≥ 3 +, which was associated with a significantly decreased 2-year survival (57.7% vs. 74.4%, P < 0.001). MR improved in 50% of patients following TAVR, with 44% regressing to MR ≤ 2 +. MR improvement to ≤ 2 + was associated with significantly better survival compared to patients with persistent MR ≥ 3 +. Baseline parameters including non-severe baseline MR, the extent of mitral annular calcification and large annular dimension (≥ 32 mm) predicted the likelihood of an improvement to MR ≤ 2 +. A score based on these parameters selected groups with differing probability of MR ≤ 2 + post TAVR ranging from 10.5 to 94.4% (AUC 0.816; P < 0.001), and was predictive for 2-year mortality. Conclusion Unresolved severe MR is a critical determinant of long term mortality following TAVR. Persistence of severe MR following TAVR can be predicted using selected parameters derived from TTE-imaging. These data call for close follow up and additional mitral valve treatment in this subgroup. Graphic abstract Factors associated with MR persistence or regression after TAVR

ABSTRACT Mitral valve perforation is most commonly due to infective endocarditis. Iatrogenic mitral valve perforation following aortic valve replacement has not been described previously. A 57 years male patient presented with complaints of progressive dyspnea on exertion and occasional palpitations. A preoperative diagnosis of severe aortic stenosis, sclerodegenerative aortic valve with normal left ventricle function was made on transthoracic echocardiography. A coronary angiogram showed single vessel disease involving proximal left anterior descending artery causing 80% stenosis. The patient was planned for aortic valve replacement (AVR) and CABG. Pre bypass TEE showed bicuspid aortic valve, thick, calcified, severe aortic stenosis and normal left ventricle systolic function. Mitral valve was morphologically normal with mild central mitral regurgitation jet. Patient underwent CABG and AVR under cardiopulmonary bypass support. Post CPB TEE examination showed 2 jets of mitral regurgitation in midesophageal aortic long-axis view (Fig. 1). There was a mild central MR jet and an additional mild MR jet from the body of anterior mitral leaflet. Transgastric short axis view showed turbulence in the region of A1 scallop of anterior mitral leaflet. We present the intraoperative TEE images of the patient with a discussion on the role of TEE in detection of mitral valve perforation and surgical decision making.
