Abstract
BACKGROUND:Mitral valve repair (MVr) combined with papillary muscle approximation (PMA) may improve repair durability in severe ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR), when compared with MVr alone. We sought to identify preoperative transthoracic echocardiographic markers associated with MR recurrence after MVr with PMA. METHODS: A post-hoc analysis was performed on patients with severe ischemic MR who underwentcoronary artery bypass graft surgery with MVr with PMA in the papillary muscle approximation randomized trial. The PMA was performed utilizing a 4-mm polytetrafluoroethylene graft placed around the papillary muscles. Linear regression analyses and receiver-operating characteristic curves were used to identify echocardiographic variables and diagnostic models associated with recurrent MR. RESULTS: There were 48 patients with a mean age of 63 ± 7 years, a left ventricular ejection fraction of 35% ± 5%, and a left ventricular end-diastolic diameter of 63 ± 3 mm. Of these, 37 patients had baseline and 5-year follow-up echocardiograms, with moderate-to-severe MR recurring in 27%. Linear regression analyses revealed associations between preoperative pulmonary artery systolic pressure (standardized beta coefficient, β = 0.49/mm Hg, p = 0.002), MV tenting area (β = 0.47/cm2, p = 0.004), a symmetric MV tethering pattern (β = 0.44, p = 0.007), and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (β = 0.37/mm, p = 0.02) with follow-up MR grade. The presence of both MV tenting area 3.1 cm2 or greater (area under the curve 0.822) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter of 64 mm or greater (area under the curve 0.801) was the most robust discriminative model for moderate-to-severe MR recurrence (specificity 92%, sensitivity 69%, area under the curve 0.804, p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoingcoronary artery bypass graft surgery with MVr plus PMA, the extent of baseline MV apparatus and left ventricle geometric remodeling identifies patients at increased risk for MR recurrence.
