This study compares mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement with chordal preservation for chronic mitral regurgitation due to myxomatous degeneration with special reference to left ventricular function. Twenty-six patients underwent complete preoperative and 2 years later postoperative echocardiography study. Thirteen patients underwent mitral valve replacement associated with preservation of chordae tendineae and papillary muscles, and 13 patients had mitral valve repair. There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups for clinical findings, hemodynamic profiles, or left ventricular function compared prior to surgery. After correcting mitral regurgitation, increase in cardiac index was significant for the repair group. Left ventricular end-diastolic volume decreased in both groups. Left ventricular end-systolic volume significantly decreased in the repair group, but remained unchanged in the replacement group. Both ejection fraction and mean left ventricular circumferential fiber shortening velocity (mVcf) decreased in the replacement group, but significantly increased in the repair group 2 years after surgery. These findings suggest valve replacement with chordal preservation shows less improvement in ventricular systolic function late after surgery compared with mitral valve repair.

Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement

Mitral regurgitation is the most prevalent form of moderate or severe valve disease in developed countries. Surgery represents the standard of care for symptomatic patients with severe mitral regurgitation, but up to 50% of patients are denied surgery because of high surgical risk. In this context, different transcatheter options have been developed to address this unmet need. Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is an emergent field representing an alternative option in high complex contexts when transcatheter mitral valve repair is not feasible or suboptimal due to anatomical issues. However, TMVR is burdened by some device-specific issues (device malposition, migration or embolization, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, hemolysis, thrombosis, stroke). Here we discuss the thrombotic risk of TMVR and current evidence about anticoagulation therapy after TMVR.
