Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to describe the anatomic and functional changes in left-sided chambers using computed tomographic angiography (CTA) from baseline to 1 month after transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) with the Tendyne prosthesis. BACKGROUND: Data on changes in left atrial and left ventricular (LV) volumes after TMVR implantation are very limited. METHODS: Patients who underwent TMVR with the Tendyne prosthesis between 2015 and 2018 were analyzed. Changes in LV end-diastolic volume, ejection fraction, LV mass, left atrial volume, and global longitudinal strain were assessed at baseline and 1 month after TMVR using CTA. Specific Tendyne implant characteristics were identified and correlated with remodeling changes. RESULTS: A total of 36 patients (median age 74 years; interquartile range [IQR]: 69 to 78 years; 78% men; 86% with secondary mitral regurgitation) were included in this study. There were significant decreases in LV end-diastolic volume (281 ml [IQR: 210 to 317 ml] vs. 239 ml [IQR: 195 to 291 ml]; p < 0.001), LV ejection fraction (37% [IQR: 31% to 48%] vs. 30% [IQR: 23% to 40%]; p < 0.001), LV mass (126 g [IQR: 96 to 155 g] vs. 116 g [IQR: 92 to 140 g]; p < 0.001), left atrial volume (171 ml [IQR: 133 to 216 ml] vs. 159 ml [IQR: 125 to 201 ml]; p = 0.027), and global longitudinal strain (-11% [IQR: -17% to -8%] vs. -9% [IQR: -12% to -6%]; p < 0.001) from baseline to 1-month follow-up. Favorable LV end-diastolic volume reverse remodeling occurred in the majority (30 of 36 patients [83%]). Closer proximity of the Tendyne apical pad to the true apex (24 mm [IQR: 21 to 29 mm] vs. 35 mm [IQR: 26 to 40 mm]) was predictive of favorable remodeling (p = 0.037). 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 favorable post-TMVR changes, which could be related to specific characteristics of the device implantation.
