Anomalies of the mitral valve apparatus in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are an important cause of systolic anterior motion. Patients with significant residual obstruction due to systolic anterior motion after myectomy and anterior mitral leaflet plication may end up having mitral valve replacement. We describe the case of a 52-year-old man who underwent posterior mitral leaflet plication to correct residual systolic anterior motion after anterior mitral leaflet plication.

Background:Long-term morbidity and mortality appear to be associated with mitral valve replacement for mitral valve disease. The morbidity rate has not decreased dramatically over the years, despite enhancements in myocardial safety and prosthetic valves. Cardiac failure is the most common cause of death following MVR. Subvalvular apparatus preservation preserves LV function and thus improves survival. Repair, particularly with rheumatic valve disease in young patients and extremely disorganised valves, is not always feasible or effective. The use of smaller valve prothesis was not only the argument of preserving the anterior leaflet, but also that it could cause LVOT obstruction. Methods:A prospective controlled randomized study will include(sixty patients aged from 25 to 55 years of both sexes) They will be divided into two groups of patients: Group I: thirty patients who underwent MVR without preservation of The chordae tendinae of the anterior mitral leaflet and only preserving the posterior mitral leaflet. Group II: thirty patients who underwent MVR with complete or partial Preservation of the chordae tendinaeof the anterior mitral leaflet. Results:The sixty patients were divided into two groups where 30 of them underwent preservation of AML, These patients had a better LV function in the early and the short term postoperative period. Conclusion:Results of this study concluded that preservation of the AML leads to better postoperative outcome. We recommend its application on a greater scale of cases of MVR.

Abstract Background Data on changes in left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) volumes after transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) are limited. Purpose This study sought to describe the anatomical and functional changes in left-sided cardiac chambers by computed tomography angiography (CTA) from baseline to 1-month after TMVR with Tendyne prosthesis. Methods We analyzed patients who underwent TMVR with Tendyne prosthesis (Abbott Structural, Menlo Park, CA) between 2015 and 2018. Changes in LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), ejection fraction (LVEF), mass (LV mass), LA volume and global longitudinal strain (GLS) were assessed at baseline and at 1-month after TMVR with CTA. Specific Tendyne implant characteristics were identified and correlated with remodeling changes. Results A total of 36 patients (mean age 73±8 years, 78% men, 86% secondary MR) were studied. There were significant decreases in LVEDV (268±68 vs. 240±66ml, p<0.001), LVEF (38±10 vs. 32±11%, p<0.001), LV mass (126±37 vs. 117±32g, p<0.001), LA volume (181±74 vs. 174±70 ml, p=0.027) and GLS (−12.6±5.1 vs. −9.5±4.0%, p<0.001) from baseline to 1-month follow-up. Favorable LVEDV reverse-remodeling occurred in the majority (30 of 36 patients, or 83%). Closer proximity of the Tendyne apical pad to the true apex was predictive of favorable remodeling (pad distance: 25.0±7.7 vs. 33.5±8.8mm, p=0.02 for those with and without favorable remodeling). Conclusions TMVR with Tendyne results in favorable left-sided chamber remodeling in the majority of patients treated, as detected on CTA at 1-month after implantation. CTA identifies the favorable post-TMVR changes, which could be related to specific characteristics of the device implantation. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None
