BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the echocardiographic features of functional mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) pre- and post-trans catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). METHODS: The study subjects consisted of 79 patients with severe AS, who underwent TAVI. The echocardiographic parameters related to MR severity prior to TAVI and the change in these parameters and MR severity within one month after implantation were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS: The mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 53 ± 12%, and the mean MR severity was 1.2 ± 0.7. Among the baseline parameters, age (p = 0.019, r = 0.264), LV mass (p = 0.017, r = 0.269), deceleration time (DT) (p = 0.019, r = -0.266), left atrial diameter (p = 0.003, r = 0.325), were related to pre-procedure MR severity. After TAVI, the grade of MR (1.2 ± 0.7 vs. 0.8 ± 0.6, p < 0.001) and MR duration (43 ± 19% vs. 31 ± 23%, p < 0.001) were significantly decreased. The grade of pre-procedural MR (p < 0.001) was a predictor of residual MR after TAVI. However, there was not a significant change in the left ventricular echocardiographic parameters after TAVI [LVEF (53 ± 12 vs. 52 ± 11, p = 0.285), and LV mass (302 ± 84 vs. 306 ± 76 g, p = 0.495)]. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with severe AS, functional MR is related to age, LV mass, DT and left atrial diameter. TAVI improves MR in these patients, even before LV remodelling occurs.
