Abstract Objective A new technique has been devised to treat mitral regurgitation (MR) through the transapical route by replicating the edge-to-edge repair surgery. This system encompasses an easy-to-use leaflet clamp and a smaller-sized delivery system (14F–16F). We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of this device in a porcine model of acute MR. Methods Acute MR was induced in 36 anesthetized porcine subjects by severing the major chordae supporting the corresponding segment of the leaflet. This device was then transapically implanted on the prolapsing segment under 3D epicardial echocardiographic guidance. All of the animals were killed 30 days after the procedure to verify the proper location of the implanted devices. Results Cutting the major chordae induced an eccentric MR jet (MR grade: 3+, 27.8%/4+, 72.2%) in all of the animals. Every single pig was then successfully implanted with one clamp. The duration of catheterization ranged from 18 to 40 minutes. Overt MR reduction was observed following the procedure through echocardiography; residual MR was mild in 8 cases, trivial in 19 cases, and absent in 9 cases. In terms of hemodynamic parameters, the mean and maximum mitral valve pressure gradients were increased significantly (p<0.01), but these values were less than 4 mmHg in all of the cases. Autopsy demonstrated that all but one device were precisely placed to clip the prolapsing segment of the mitral valve, and there was no evidence of thrombosis, thromboembolism or impairment of the cardiac structure. Table 1.

Abstract Background Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most common valve disease in Europe with mitral valve repair being the treatment of choice in symptomatic patients with degenerative MR grade 3+. Purpose the study goal is to evaluate the long-term survival, the rate and the predictive factors of reintervention following mitral valve repair. Method All patients admitted for mitral valve repair in the context of significant MR defined by symptoms and/or critical left ventricular enlargement were included in this retrospective registry from January 2001 to 31 December 2011. The only exclusion criteria was scheduled mitral valve repair converted into mitral valve replacement. Results 426 consecutive patients had mitral valve repair. There were 137 women and 289 men with an average age of 62 ± 13 y. Twenty-two percent, 37%, 36% and 5 % patients were in NYHA functional class 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. All patients had MR grade 3+. Indication for mitral valve repair was endocarditis (n = 21), ring dilation (n = 21), ischemic functional MR (n = 26), rheumatic mitral valve (n = 8) and degenerative MR (n = 350). Operating room successful attained 95% % for mitral valve repair with only 5% in-hospital conversion to valve replacement. Of the 426 patients discharged after mitral valve repair, 39 patients died with a survival rate of 10.8 years (95% CI [10.4-11.3], 78.5% &gt; 10 years) and 25 were re-operated. The two predictive factors for reintervention were anterior leaflet degeneration (OR = 3.4 IC95% [1.05-9.8]; p = 0.02) and persistence of mitral leak grade 2+ at discharge (OR = 6.7 IC95% [2-22]; p = 0.001). Conclusion Preoperative degenerative anterior leaflet and post-operative persistent grade 2+ mitral regurgitation are the 2 predictive risk factors for reintervention after mitral valve repair for significant MR.

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
