Objective: Assessment early outcome of video assisted minimally invasive mitral valve replacement, in rheumatic valve disease. Also, to evaluate early postoperative quality of life by SF 36 questionnaire. Methods: This is a prospective single center study which was conducted on 20 rheumatic heart patients, in Egypt; during the period from October 2015 to June 2018. The main pathological lesion was sever mitral regurgitation (MR), mitral stenosis (MS) or both. Patients underwent video assisted minimally invasive mitral valve replacement, through a right mini thoracotomy. 13 patients (65%) were via infra-mammary incision, 4 patients (20%) were via periareolar incision and 3 patients (15%) were via limited right anterolateral mini-thoracotomy. Results: Mean length of surgical incision was (6.60 ± 1.35 cm). Mean duration of operation, cardiopulmonary bypass, and cross clamp times were (4.32 ± 1.08 hr.), (2.85 ± 0.75 hr.) and (1.78 ± 0.47 hr.) respectively. ICU stay was 2.35 ± 1.14 days and Hospital stay was 6.45 ± 1.43 days. The mean amount of blood loss was 398.50 ± 245.79 ml with two patients of bleeding requiring re-opening. At discharge, all patients had normal mitral prosthetic valve function with no or trivial regurgitation, as shown by echocardiographic studies. The postoperative quality of life revealed faster recovery of usual activities. Conclusions: Video assisted minimally invasive mitral valve surgery in the surgically challenging rheumatic valve disease has less surgical trauma, blood loss and pain, which translates into short hospital stay, rapid return to normal activities, less use of resources.

Abstract Background To evaluate early and midterm outcomes of tricuspid ring annuloplasty using three-dimensional (3D) MC3 ring for treatment of functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) during mitral valve replacement for rheumatic valve disease. Results This prospective study included 105 patients who underwent repair for ≥ moderate tricuspid regurgitation (TR) during mitral valve replacement for rheumatic valve disease. Between January 2016 and December 2018, a group of 23 patients who underwent ring annuloplasty with Edward MC3 rings was compared to another group of 82 patients who underwent standard suture (DeVega) repair. The primary outcome was residual TR (≥ moderate TR). During an average follow-up period of 18.84 ± 9.90 months (range 3–33 months), the preoperative grade of TR improved significantly in both groups. The postoperative mean of TR in the MC3 group was significantly lower than that in the DeVega group (0.17 ± 0.49 versus 0.77 ± 0.93, P = 0.004). The rate of TR recurrence (≥ 2+ TR) was significantly higher after MC3 ring annuloplasty (4.3% versus 23.1%, P = 0.03). Freedom from mild TR was 30.5% in the DeVega group and 61% in the ring annuloplasty group (P = 0.007). Freedom from residual TR was 76.8% in the DeVega group and 95.7% in the ring annuloplasty group (P = 0.04). Conclusions The use of MC3 rings is a safe and effective alternative to DeVega repair for the management of FTR. However, further evaluation of long-term durability is recommended.

Background: Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery became an attractive option because of its cosmetic advantages over the conventional approach. The superiority of the minimally invasive approach regarding other aspects is still debatable. The aim of our study was to determine the potential benefits of minimally invasive mitral valve replacement with intraoperative video assistance over conventional surgery. Methods: This is a single-center prospective cohort study that included 60 patients with rheumatic heart disease who underwent mitral valve replacement. Patients were divided into two groups: group (A) included patients who had conventional sternotomy (n= 30), and group (B) included patients who had video-assisted minimally invasive mitral valve replacement (n= 30). Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were compared between both groups. Results: Mortality occurred in one patient in the group (A). Cardiopulmonary bypass time was 118.93 ± 29.84 minutes vs. 64.73 ± 19.16 minutes in group B and A respectively (p< 0.001), and ischemic time was 102.27 ± 30.03 minutes vs. 53.67± 18.46 minutes in group B and A respectively (P < 0.001). Ventilation time was 2.77± 2.27 vs. 6.28 ± 4.48 hours in group B and A respectively (p< 0.001) and blood transfusion was 0.50 ± 0.63 vs. 2.83 ± 1.34 units in group B and A respectively (p< 0.001).  ICU stay was 1.73 ± 0.64 days in the group (B) vs. 4.47 ± 0.94 days in group A (p< 0.001). Postoperative bleeding was 353.33 ± 146.77 ml in the group (B) vs. 841.67 ± 302.03 ml in group A (p <0.001). No conversion to full sternotomy was reported in group B. In group (B), two cases (6.6%) required re-exploration for bleeding vs. four cases (13.2%) in group (A) (p=0.67). The hospital stay was 6.13 ± 1.59 days in the group (B) vs. 13.27 ± 7.62 days in group A (p< 0.001). Four cases (13.3%) developed mediastinitis in group A and in the group (B), there was one case of acute right lower limb embolic ischemia. Conclusion: Video-assisted minimally invasive mitral operations could be a safe alternative to conventional sternotomy with the potential of lesser morbidity and earlier hospital discharge.

Background: COR-KNOT® (LSI Solutions, New York, NY, USA) is an automated suture securing device has not been well known. We report a case series for first automated knotting device used for minimally invasive heart valve surgery in Bangladesh. Method and Results: To overcome the challenge of knot securing via a Key-Hole surgery we have used CORKNOT ®. The newest device is capable of remotely and automatically secure sutures and simultaneously can cut and remove the excess suture tails. We covered the spectrum of heart valve surgery: There was one case of bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement, one case of mitral valve repair, one case of bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement, one case of failed mitral valve repair with COR-KNOT® explantation followed by mechanical mitral valve replacement and one case of redo-mitral valve replacement. Average length of hospital stays was 5 ± 1days. There was one reopening, one post-operative atrial fibrillation. No wound infection and no 30day mortality. Conclusion: We conclude, COR-KNOT® is a safe and effective tool to reduce the duration of operation. Clinical outcome of heart valve surgery with COR-KNOT® is comparable with other methods of suture tying methods. Bangladesh Heart Journal 2019; 34(2) : 127-131

Abstract Background Rheumatic mitral valvular disease is more common than degenerative mitral valve disease. Mitral valve repair is not possible in large number of patients because of rheumatic cicatrized subvalvular mitral valve disease. The prosthetic mitral valve replacement is commonly performed in our center. Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate and assess the short outcome of Mitral Valve Replacement with or without Tricuspid Valve Repair. Patients and Methods This study was done in department of Cardiothoracic surgery, Faculty of Medicine at Ain Shams university, after approval of the local ethical committee from 2015 to 2016.The inclusion criteria includes All gender, All age, Primary Mitral valve replacement for severe Mitral valve disease of Rheumatic origin with or without Tricuspid Valve Repair and Primary Mitral valve replacement for severe Mitral valve disease of Degenerative origin with or without Tricuspid Valve Repair and the exclusion criteria includes concomitant coronary artery bypass graft surgery or other cardiac operations or infective endocarditis and Patients with chronic liver, kidney and parenchymal pulmonary disease. Results This study included one hundred and seventy- seven (177) patients; One hundred and thirty one (131) patients did Mitral Valve Replacement without Tricuspid valve Repair, Fourty six (46) patients did Mitral valve Replacement with Tricuspid valve Repair and the outcome was Mortality (3.9%), Reoperaion (5.08%), Stroke (0. 56%), Re-Intubation (1.13%) and Re-Admission to ICU (1.69%) Conclusion The Reoperation has a direct relation and effect on the Mortality,Prolonged bypass time independently predicts postoperative morbidity and mortality and Prolonged aortic cross-clamp time significantly correlates with major post-operative morbidity and mortality.
