Abstract Funding Acknowledgements none OnBehalf none Background Chronic mitral regurgitation (MR) leads to right ventricular dysfunction because of volume and pressure overload over a long time. Mitral valve repair with a mitral clip will reduce the (MR) but how much its effect on the right ventricle. Aim The aim of the present study is to assess the impact of Mitral Valve Clipping on right ventricular (RV) remodeling (RV strain and strain rate) at med term after Mitral Clip implantation in high-risk surgical patients with severe functional mitral regurgitation (MR). Methods Study population included 62 patients with severe functional MR. All the patients underwent full echocardiographic evaluation before MV clip, and at 12-month follow-up. RV systolic function was assessed using tissue Doppler and TAPSE. Using Tom-Tec software the RV endocardium is traced in the apical 4 chamber view to get the RV strain and strain rate. RV after load was evaluated using systolic pulmonary artery pressure. Results In our cohort, 62 patients had percutaneous mitral valve clip and completed at least 12 months of follow-up. The average age was 60.56 years, 24.19 were females, 50% were diabetic, 46.77 were hypertensive, 12.90 had ESRD and 11.29 % had anemia. Coronary artery disease (CAD) was present in 59.41 %, prior CABG in 11.67% and prior PCI in 35.48%. All parameters value was compared pre MV clip and 12 ± 4.6 months after MV clip. The RV longitudinal strain was -12.4 ± 2.6% and improved to -14.6 ± 3.1% (P 0.005) (Figure A and B). The RV strain rate was -1.1 ± 0.41 and improved to -1.3 ± 0.57 (P 0.004) (Figure C and D). The tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) was 1.76 ±0.57 mm, and improved to 1.82 ±0.63 mm (P 0.4). The systolic velocity at the tricuspid annulus was 9.50 ±2.33cm/sec and improved to 9.64 ±2.72 cm/sec (P 0.269). The systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) was 50.49 ±13.92 and improved to 42.33 (P 0.036). Conclusion Mitral Clip implantation induces a significant reverse remodeling of RV. It produces significant improvement in the hemodynamics of the right side indicated by the significant reduction in SPAP and a significant increase in longitudinal RV strain and strain rate. Those changes could be a direct reflection of the concomitant reduction in LV filling pressure produced by the significant reverse remodeling of the LV caused by Mitral Clipping.

Abstract Background Limited information has been reported regarding the impact of percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) on ventricular arrhythmic (VA) burden. The aim of this study was to address the incidence of VA and appropriate antitachycardia implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) therapies before and after PMVR. Methods We retrospectively analyzed all consecutive patients with heart failure with reduce left ventricular ejection fraction, functional mitral regurgitation grade 3+ or 4+ and an active ICD or cardiac resynchronizer who underwent PMVR in any of the eleven recruiting centers. Only patients with complete available device VA monitoring from one-year before to one year after PMVR were included. Baseline clinical and echocardiographic characteristics were collected before PMVR and at 12-months follow-up. Results 93 patients (68.2±10.9 years old, male 88.2%) were enrolled. PMVR was successfully performed in all patients and device success at discharge was 91.4%. At 12-months follow-up, we observed a significant reduction in mitral regurgitation severity, NT-proBNP and prevalence of severe pulmonary hypertension and severe kidney disease. Patients also referred a significant improvement in NYHA functional class and showed a non-significant trend to reserve left ventricular remodeling. After PMVR a significant decrease in the incidence of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) (5.0–17.8 vs 2.7–13.5, p=0.002), sustained VT or ventricular fibrillation (0.9–2.5 vs 0.5–2.9, p=0.012) and ICD antitachycardia therapies (2.5–12.0 vs 0.9–5.0, p=0.033) were observed. Conclusion PMVR was related to a reduction in arrhythmic burden and ICD therapies in our cohort. Proportion of patients who presented ven Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Background Three-dimensional saddle-shaped annuloplasty rings have been shown to create a larger surface of leaflet coaptation in mitral valve repair (MVR) for functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) and degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) which may increase repair durability. For the first time, this study reports mid-term results after MVR for DMR and FMR using a rigid three-dimensional ring (Profile 3D, Medtronic). Methods Between June 2009 and June 2012, 369 patients with DMR (n = 326) or FMR (n = 43) underwent MVR (mean age 62.3 ± 12.6 years). A total of 205 patients (55.6%) underwent isolated MVR and 164 patients (44.4%) a combined procedure. Follow-up examinations were performed in 94.9% (mean 4.9 ± 0.9 years). Echocardiographic assessment was complete in 93.2% (mean 4.3 ± 1.2 years). Results The 30-day mortality was 1.5% (5/326) for DMR (1.5% for isolated and 1.6% for combined procedures) and 9.3% (4/43) for FMR (0% for isolated and 10.5% for combined procedures). Survival at 6 years was 92.1 ± 1.9% for DMR (92.9 ± 2.6% for isolated and 90.7 ± 2.7% for combined procedures) and 66.4 ± 7.9% for FMR (80.0 ± 17.9% for isolated and 63.7 ± 8.9% for combined procedures). Cumulative risk for mitral valve-related reoperation at 6 years was 0% for FMR and 7.1 ± 1.5% for DMR. At echocardiographic follow-up, one patient presented with mitral regurgitation (MR) more than moderate. The only predictor of recurrent MR after MVR for DMR was residual mild MR at discharge. Conclusion Repair of FMR with the three-dimensional Profile 3D annuloplasty ring shows excellent mid-term results with regard to recurrence of MR. In cases of DMR, the results are conforming to the current literature.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Subannular repair techniques in addition to undersized ring annuloplasty have been developed to address high mitral regurgitation (MR) recurrence rates after mitral valve repair in type IIIb MR. We compared the results of annuloplasty with simultaneous standardized subannular repair versus isolated annuloplasty, focusing on the periprocedural outcomes of minimally invasive procedures. METHODS A consecutive series of 108 patients with type IIIb functional MR with severe signs of bileaflet tethering underwent an annuloplasty + subannular repair (group A; n = 60) versus isolated annuloplasty (group B; n = 48). The primary end point of this prospective, parallel cohort study was death or recurrent MR >2, 1 year postoperatively. The secondary end points were survival and clinical outcomes, with special regard for the minimally invasively treated subgroups. RESULTS Duration of surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic cross-clamp time were comparable between both study groups. Procedural outcomes as well as echocardiographic outcome parameters were similar and independent of access (fully endoscopic versus full sternotomy). At the 12-month follow-up, death or MR >2 occurred in 3.3% (2/60) of patients in group A vs in 20.8% (10/48) of patients in group B (P = 0.037). The overall mortality rate during the follow-up period was 1.7% (1/60) in group A vs 12.5% (6/48) in group B (P = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS Standardized realignment of papillary muscles is feasible and reproducible via a minimally invasive approach, resulting in excellent periprocedural outcomes, and has a clear potential to significantly decrease MR recurrence and improve 1-year outcomes compared to isolated annuloplasty.

Abstract Background Recent randomised trials have shown conflicting results regarding the usefulness of percutaneous mitral valve repair using MitraClip in patients with severe functional mitral regurgitation (FMR). At present, it remains unclear whether patients with FMR and advanced heart failure might benefit from MitraClip therapy. Moreover, it has been shown that left ventricular reverse remodelling (LVRR) post-MitraClip is associated with a favourable outcome. Purpose We sought to assess whether baseline contractile reserve (CR) can predict LVRR and improvement of LV ejection fraction (EF) in FMR patients undergoing MitraClip therapy. Methods Consecutive patients with symptomatic severe FMR referred for MitraClip were recruited in two tertiary centres. All patients were scheduled for a semi-supine bicycle exercise echocardiography before and 6 months after the intervention. Patients who were not able to perform an exercise test and who did not complete 6 month follow up were excluded from further analysis. Baseline CR was obtained by subtracting peak exercise LVEF from LVEF at rest. LVRR was defined as a 10% decrease in LV end systolic volume (ESV) at follow-up. Results 34 patients completed 6 month follow up (61% male, age 71 ± 10 years, LVEF 32 ± 8%). LVRR was observed in 15 patients (44%). We found a trend towards a moderate correlation between baseline CR and relative decrease in LVESV at 6 months (Pearson Rho -0.321, p = 0.064). This correlation became significant in a sub-analysis considering only patients with post-procedural FMR grade ≤2 (n = 27; Pearson Rho -0.444, p = 0.020). In contrast, LVRR was not related to baseline LVEF, LV dimensions or volumes. Furthermore, baseline CR was strongly correlated with an increase of LVEF at 6 months post-MitraClip in these patients (Pearson Rho 0.653, p < 0.001). Conclusion CR predicts LVRR and improvement of LVEF in patients with FMR after successful MitraClip therapy (reduction of FMR towards grade ≤2), in contrast to resting indices of LV dysfunction and dilatation. More studies with outcome data are needed to determine whether CR is a useful parameter to identify patients with FMR who might benefit from MitraClip therapy.

Abstract Aims Recurrent mitral regurgitation (MR) has been reported after mitral valve repair for functional MR. However, the impact of recurrent MR on long-term survival remains poorly defined. In the present study, mortality-adjusted recurrent MR rates, the clinical impact of recurrent MR and its determinants were studied in patients after mitral valve repair with revascularization for functional MR in the setting of ischaemic heart disease. Methods and results Long-term clinical and echocardiographic outcome was evaluated in 261 consecutive patients after restrictive mitral annuloplasty and revascularization for moderate to severe functional MR, between 2000 and 2014. The cumulative incidence of recurrent MR ≥ Grade 2, assessed by competing risk analysis, was 9.6 ± 1.8% at 1-year, 20.3 ± 2.5% at 5-year, and 27.6 ± 2.9% at 10-year follow-up. Cumulative survival was 85.8% [95% confidence interval (CI) 81.0–90.0] at 1-year, 67.3% (95% CI 61.1–72.6%) at 5-year, and 46.1% (95% CI 39.4–52.6%) at 10-year follow-up. Age, preoperative New York Heart Association Class III or IV, a history of renal failure, and recurrence of MR expressed as a time-dependent variable [HR 3.28 (1.87–5.75), P < 0.001], were independently associated with an increased mortality risk. Female gender, a history of ST-elevation myocardial infarction, a preoperative QRS duration ≥120 ms, a higher preoperative MR grade, and a higher indexed left ventricular end-systolic volume were independently associated with an increased likelihood of recurrent MR. Conclusion Mitral valve repair for functional ischaemic MR resulted in a low incidence of recurrent MR with favourable clinical outcome up to 10 years after surgery. Presence of recurrent MR at any moment after surgery proved to be independently associated with an increased risk for mortality.

Abstract Background Annular dilation by left atrial remodeling is considered the main cause of atrial function mitral regurgitation. Although acceptable outcomes have been obtained using mitral ring annuloplasty alone for atrial functional mitral regurgitation, data assessing outcomes of this procedure are limited. Therefore, we aimed to assess midterm outcomes of mitral valve repair in patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation. Methods We retrospectively studied 40 patients (mean age: 69 ± 9 years) who had atrial fibrillation that persisted for > 1 year, preserved left ventricular ejection fraction of > 40%, and mitral valve repair for atrial functional mitral regurgitation. The mean clinical follow-up duration was 42 ± 24 months. Results Mitral ring annuloplasty was performed for all patients. Additional repair including anterior mitral leaflet neochordoplasty was performed for 22 patients. Concomitant procedures included maze procedure in 20 patients and tricuspid ring annuloplasty in 31 patients. Follow-up echocardiography showed significant decreases in left atrial dimensions and left ventricular end-diastolic dimensions. Recurrent mitral regurgitation due to ring detachment or leaflet tethering was observed in five patients and was seen more frequently among those with preoperative left ventricular dilatation. Three patients without tricuspid ring annuloplasty or sinus rhythm recovery by maze procedure developed significant tricuspid regurgitation. Five patients who underwent the maze procedure showed sinus rhythm recovery. Rates of freedom from re-admission for heart failure at 1 and 5 years after surgery were 95 and 86%, respectively. Conclusions Mitral valve repair is not sufficient to prevent recurrent atrial functional mitral regurgitation in patients with preoperative left ventricular dilatation. Tricuspid ring annuloplasty may be required for long-term prevention of significant tricuspid regurgitation.

Introduction: The current study was sought to assess the immediate effect of percutaneous balloonmitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) on right ventricular (RV) and pulmonary functions using speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) and spirometry respectively. Methods: Two-dimensional speckle tracking and doppler studies for strain and strain rate imaging of RV were performed before PBMV, after 48h and 15 days of PBMV using echocardiography and spirometry. Mitral valve area, peak and mean mitral valve transannular pressure gradients, late filling velocities,Wilkins score, Systolic pulmonary artery pressure, TAPSE, RV end-diastolic and end-systolic areas,RV fractional area change and Tei index were measured. Results: There was a significant rise in peak RV global longitudinal strain (GLS) from baseline to48h post PBMV and at 15 days post PBMV. Segmental RV strain at basal septum, mid septum,apical septum and basal RV free wall showed considerable improvement from baseline to 48h post PBMV and 15 days post PBMV. RV longitudinal strain rate parameters did not show significant improvement after PBMV and remained low at follow-up. Post PBMV all patients showed restrictive features on pulmonary function test. The mean FEV1 (% predicted), mean FVC (% predicted), mean PEFR improved from baseline to 48h PBMV and 15 days post PBMV. Though the mean FEV1/FVC increased post PBMV at 15 days follow-up, but it was statistically insignificant. Conclusion: RV performance in MS was decreased mainly due to increase in RV after load which improves after PBMV. Patients with severe MS have impaired pulmonary function which is of restrictive type and successful PBMV improves pulmonary function.
