<p><b>Background:</b> The purpose of this study was to summarize our experience of extended ventricular septal myectomy in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM).</p><p><b>Methods:</b> Thirty-eight patients (26 men, 12 women) with HOCM underwent extended ventricular septal myectomy. The mean age was 36.3 years (range, 18-64 years). Diagnosis was made by echocardiography. The mean (mean � SE) systolic gradient between the left ventricle (LV) and the aorta was 89.3 � 31.1 mm Hg (range, 50-184 mm Hg) according to echocardiographic assessments before the operations. Moderate or severe systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve was found in 38 cases, and mitral regurgitation was present in 29 cases. Extended ventricular septal myectomy was performed in all 38 cases. The results of the surgical procedures were evaluated intraoperatively with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) at 1 to 2 weeks after the operation. All patients were followed up with TTE after their operation.</p><p><b>Results:</b> All patients were discharged without complications. The TEE evaluations showed that the mean systolic gradient between the LV and the aorta decreased from 94.8 � 35.6 mm Hg preoperatively to 13.6 � 10.8 mm Hg postoperatively (<i>P</i> = .0000) and that the mean thickness of the ventricular septum decreased from 28.3 � 7.9 mm to 11.8 � 3.2 mm (<i>P</i> = .0000). Mitral regurgitation and SAM were significantly reduced or eliminated. During the follow-up, all patients promptly became completely asymptomatic or complained of mild effort dyspnea only, and syncope was abolished. TTE examinations showed that the postoperative pressure gradient either remained the same or diminished.</p><p><b>Conclusions:</b> Extended ventricular septal myectomy is mostly an effective method for patients with HOCM, and good surgical exposure and thorough excision of the hypertrophic septum are of paramount importance for a successful surgery.</p>

Chest X Ray

Acute mitral regurgitation (acute MR) is a rare cause of acute respiratory distress, which can present diagnostic challenges. We present the case of a 57 year old man who developed acute shortness of breath subsequently associated with fever, raised white cells and elevated CRP. Chest x-ray revealed unilateral shadowing and he was treated for pneumonia, despite the finding of severe mitral regurgitation on echo. Failure to respond to antibiotic treatment following 3 weeks on ITU led to the consideration of acute MR as the cause of his symptoms and he responded well to diuretics. He subsequently underwent mitral valve repair. The causes and clinical presentations of this condition are discussed.

Objective: Emergency surgical treatment is required for idiopathic acute mitral regurgitation due to chordae rupture in infants. Nevertheless, mitral valve repair for such a patient population still remains challenging. We report our experience with mitral valve repair for idiopathic acute mitral regurgitation due to chordae rupture in infants. Methods: From 2005 to 2017, six infants (four boys) were diagnosed with acute mitral regurgitation due to chordae rupture and underwent mitral valve repair. The median age, mean body weight, and median follow-up period were 5.5 months (range: 4-9 months), 6.8 kg (range: 5.5-8.0 kg), and 6.4 years (range: 6 months to 10 years), respectively. Results: In all cases, surgical intervention was performed within 24 hours of admission. Artificial chordae reconstruction and paracommissural edge-to-edge repair were utilized in three and four cases, respectively, while Kay’s annuloplasty was performed in all cases. Mean cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic cross-clamp time were 117 minutes (range: 70-143 minutes) and 73 minutes (range: 35-108 minutes), respectively. No early or late deaths and reoperations had occurred during the follow-up period. Moreover, postoperative mitral regurgitation was significantly reduced, while no chronologic progression of mitral regurgitation was observed. Conclusions: The combination of various techniques, such as artificial chordae reconstruction, paracomissural edge-to-edge repair, and Kay’s annuloplasty, can be a promising surgical option for idiopathic acute mitral regurgitation due to chordae rupture in infants.

Abstract A 72-year-old female patient with a past medical history of severe mitral regurgitation, atrial fibrillation and embolic cerebrovascular events was admitted to our institution. The patient was under optimal medical therapy and complained for progressive worsening of activity-related dyspnea with limitation of physical activity (NYHA III). Transthoracic echocardiography showed the presence of severe mitral regurgitation with a central jet. There was prolapse of both mitral valve leaflets and interestingly the anterior leaflet presented systolic anterior motion (SAM) at the same time. There was no significant left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOT). Further evaluation of the regurgitant mitral valve with a transesophageal echocardiography (TOE) confirmed the above findings and the mechanism of MV regurgitation was attributed to prolapse in addition to SAM of an elongated anterior leaflet. Laboratory test showed elevated NT-pro-BNP levels. A coronary angiography was performed and excluded significant coronary artery disease. The findings were assessed by our institution’s HEART TEAM and, in the presence of high surgical risk (LogEuroscore 32,76%), a decision for transcatheter mitral valve repair with a Mitral Clip implantation was taken. The Mitral Clip was succesfully implanted with immediate significant reduction of the regurgitant jet and no signs of stenotic behavior of the repaired valve. There was only mild mitral valve regurgitation. Notably, after the procedure there was elimination of the SAM and no LVOT obstruction (Figure). In accordance to the echocardiography findings, the patient demonstrated a significant clinical improvement and was discharged home 1 day after the procedure. Mitral clip implantation in this case showed improvement of the MR by reducing the SAM of the mitral valve. Abstract P1320 Figure.

Leaflet Prolapse

Degenerative mitral regurgitation due to posterior leaflet prolapse is often associated with tissue redundancy in the leaflet height and free margin of the prolapsing segment. The butterfly technique has been introduced for focal resection to precisely control the leaflet height without annular plication. This technique is indicated for a high prolapsing leaflet, greater than 20 mm. With intraoperative measurement of leaflet heights and ink dot marking as a depth indicator, the butterfly technique can be safely performed in most high posterior leaflet prolapse cases, without increasing the risk of systolic anterior motion.
