Abstract OnBehalf cairo university Background Mitral valve MV apparatus is a dynamic three-dimensional system that allows a unidirectional heart pump function. Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is a common complication that adversely affects the prognosis in patients with congestive heart failure. Accurate assessment of the interaction of the LV and MV apparatus is crucial for surgical correction of FMR. Purpose Evaluation of MV deformity indices in patients with Left ventricle (LV) dysfunction and varying severity FMR using 3D transoesophageal echocardiography and MV navigation (MVN) software Methods 96 patients were selected with echocardiographic evidence of dilated LV dimensions, EF ≤ 45%,and at least mild MR . A standard comprehensive transthoracic echocardiographic assessment of : 1. LV diameters and volumes with calculation of LVEF , LV shape, sphericity index, 2. Mitral leaflets morphology including anterior mitral leaflet length ,Mitral annular (MA) diameter , mid-systolic mitral annular area (MAA) , The coaptation height (CH) or distance , MV tenting area, leaflet-tethering distance for anterolateral papillary muscle (Tethering-AL) and posteromedial papillary muscle (Tethering-PM), 3.Quantification of MR : MR jet area , vena contracta (VC) width, effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA), , regurgitant volume, 4. 2D speckle-tracking imaging for LV strain analysis,5.MV morphology and dynamics were analysed using MVN for assessment of : Annular geometry including diameters, circumference ,height , annular ellipticity . Results MV deformation (AML and PML tethering distance) was negatively correlated with GLS (r= -0.408, p = 0.009),and (r= -0.428, p = 0.006) as well as 2D and 3D MAA were negatively correlated with the GLS (r= -0.469, p = 0.002) and (r= -0.477, p = 0.002). MR severity parameters as MR volume and EROA were associated with increased MAA (r = 0.38, p = 0.015), (r = 0.469, p = 0.002) respectively. Severity of MR was strongly correlated with MVA indices including AP diameter, 3D MA circumference, MAA, MV tenting height and volume and annular ellipsicity. Conclusion Mitral annular enlargement appears to be more closely linked to occurrence of FMR in patients with LV dysfunction. 3D imaging modalities will help assessment of complicated, dynamic, three-dimensional and non-planar mitral annulus

Abstract Abstract Background Mechanistic features of functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) include papillary muscle displacement due to left ventricular remodeling. Intraventricular conduction delay might further augment this condition by introducing interpapillary muscle dyssynchrony. Objectives To define this mechanism as a major contributing factor in FMR and prove the reversibility of FMR by interpapillary muscle resynchronization. Methods We enrolled 269 chronic HFrEF patients with conduction delay and comprehensively assessed dyssynchrony by complementary echocardiographic techniques. Opposing wall delay, calculated by speckle tracking, was determined as the time difference between peak longitudinal strain of the mid-anterior and inferior wall from a 2-chamber view. Furthermore, opposing wall delay was assessed as the time difference between peak strain values from tissue Doppler velocity-coded data of the mid-inferior septal and mid-lateral wall segments. Results Patients with severe FMR had markedly increased interpapillary longitudinal dyssynchrony (160ms [IQR 120–200]) compared to those with moderate (70ms [IQR 40–110]), no, or mild FMR (60ms [IQR 30–100]; P<0.001). Increased interpapillary muscle dyssynchrony was correlated with effective regurgitant orifice area (P<0.001; Figure A), regurgitant volume (P<0.001, Figure B) and vena contracta width (P<0.001, Figure C). Restoration of longitudinal papillary muscle synchronicity by cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) was correlated with FMR regression, as reflected by the reduction in regurgitant volume (P<0.001) and vena contracta width (P<0.001). Conversely, the improvement of FMR was associated with improved interpapillary radial (P=0.006) and longitudinal (P<0.001) dyssynchrony. The improvement of dyssynchrony-mediated FMR signified a better prognosis compared to no improvement in FMR during the 8-year follow-up period even after comprehensive adjustment by a bootstrap-selected confounder model (adj. HR of 0.41; 95% CI 0.18–0.91; P=0.028; Figure D). The results remained virtually unchanged after adjustment for left bundle branch block. Figure 1. Dyssynchrony-FMR-CRT Conclusion Intraventricular dyssynchrony introduces unequal contraction by papillary muscle bearing walls, which has an adverse effect on FMR. CRT can effectively restore interpapillary balance and thus create a less tented leaflet configuration, resulting in a clinically meaningful reduction of FMR. The restoration of papillary muscle synchronicity in dyssynchrony-mediated FMR translates into a significantly better prognosis.

Abstract We evaluated the availability of original “sandwich plasty” for the treatment of functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) associated with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and aortic valve disease (AVD). Forty-three patients were reviewed, including 27 IHD patients and 16 AVD patients. Preoperatively severe FMR was detected in 14 patients, moderate FMR in 26, and mild FMR in 3. The papillary muscle heads of anterior leaflets and posterior leaflets were approximated using Teflon-pledgeted 3-0 Ticron sutures at anterolateral and posteromedial commissural portions. After surgery, residual moderate FMR was observed in 1 patient and mild FMR in 3 patients. Tenting height of the mitral valve significantly decreased. FMR free rates 2 years after surgery were 93% among IHD patients and 83% in AVD patients. “Sandwich plasty” was simple and effective for the treatment of functional FMR caused by tethering effects due to left ventricular dilatation.

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
