The Impact

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

Mid Term Results

Abstract Background Three-dimensional saddle-shaped annuloplasty rings have been shown to create a larger surface of leaflet coaptation in mitral valve repair (MVR) for functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) and degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) which may increase repair durability. For the first time, this study reports mid-term results after MVR for DMR and FMR using a rigid three-dimensional ring (Profile 3D, Medtronic). Methods Between June 2009 and June 2012, 369 patients with DMR (n = 326) or FMR (n = 43) underwent MVR (mean age 62.3 ± 12.6 years). A total of 205 patients (55.6%) underwent isolated MVR and 164 patients (44.4%) a combined procedure. Follow-up examinations were performed in 94.9% (mean 4.9 ± 0.9 years). Echocardiographic assessment was complete in 93.2% (mean 4.3 ± 1.2 years). Results The 30-day mortality was 1.5% (5/326) for DMR (1.5% for isolated and 1.6% for combined procedures) and 9.3% (4/43) for FMR (0% for isolated and 10.5% for combined procedures). Survival at 6 years was 92.1 ± 1.9% for DMR (92.9 ± 2.6% for isolated and 90.7 ± 2.7% for combined procedures) and 66.4 ± 7.9% for FMR (80.0 ± 17.9% for isolated and 63.7 ± 8.9% for combined procedures). Cumulative risk for mitral valve-related reoperation at 6 years was 0% for FMR and 7.1 ± 1.5% for DMR. At echocardiographic follow-up, one patient presented with mitral regurgitation (MR) more than moderate. The only predictor of recurrent MR after MVR for DMR was residual mild MR at discharge. Conclusion Repair of FMR with the three-dimensional Profile 3D annuloplasty ring shows excellent mid-term results with regard to recurrence of MR. In cases of DMR, the results are conforming to the current literature.

Abstract Background Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is not uncommon in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Left atrial (LA) substrate remodeling and corresponding mitral valve annulus dilation has been reported as the most possible cause of FMR. Percutaneous catheter ablation (CA) is an effective treatment for AF. Although significant FMR could be improved by sinus restoration, patients with mitral regurgitation were more likely to experience recurrent AF post ablation, especially those with significant mitral regurgitation. There is no information available on the efficacy of CA for persistent AF in patients with FMR. Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the predictors of FMR improvement by CA and to determine the efficacy of substrate and trigger CA for persistent AF in patients with FMR. Methods We prospectively studied 512 consecutive patients admitted for persistent AF ablation from the EARNEST-PVI (Prospective Multicenter Randomized Study of Effect of Extensive Ablation on Recurrence in Patients with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Treated with Pulmonary Vein Isolation) trial. On admission, enrolled patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) or PVI-plus additional ablation (linear ablation or/and CFAE ablation). Of the 512 patients, we studied 94 patients with preoperative echocardiography showing moderate or greater baseline FMR. FMR grades were classified into 5 grades (0/1/2/3/4). The FMR improvement group (FMRI(+)) was defined as a case in which the FMR was improved by two or more grades compared the preoperative echocardiography and the one year follow-up examination. Results Of the 94 patients, 42 were in the PVI group and 52 were in the PVI-plus additional ablation group. There were 30 cases in the FMRI(+) group and 64 cases in the FMRI(−) group. There were no significant baseline differences in age, sinus rhythm maintenance, plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, left ventricular diastolic dimension, or left atrium dimension between the FMRI(+) and FMRI(−) groups. AF duration was significantly shorter in the FMRI(+) group than FMRI(−) groups (5.8±9.4 months vs 12.4±15.4 months, p<0.0001). In addition, significantly more additional ablation cases were observed in the FMRI(+) group than in the FMRI(−) group (73.3% vs 46.8%, p=0.016). In multivariate analyses, only additional ablation was an independent predictor of FMRI (odds ratio 0.226 95% CI 0.081–0.626; p=0.004). Conclusions Catheter ablation is a valid option for the treatment of AF in patients with functional MR and additional substrate and trigger ablation were the only independent predictor of FMR improvement.
