چکیده

BACKGROUND Presurgical planning of mitral valve (MV) repair in patients with Barlow disease (BD) and fibroelastic deficiency (FED) is challenging because of the inability to assess accurately the complexity of MV prolapse. We hypothesized that the etiology of degenerative MV disease (DMVD) could be objectively and accurately ascertained using parameters of MV geometry obtained by morphological analysis of real-time 3D echocardiographic (RT3DE) images. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy-seven patients underwent transesophageal RT3DE study: 57 patients with DMVD studied intraoperatively (28 BD, 29 FED classified during surgery) and 20 patients with normal MV who were used as control subjects (NL). MVQ software (Philips) was used to measure parameters of annular dimensions and geometry and leaflet surface area, including billowing volume and height. The Student t test and multinomial logistic regression was performed to identify parameters best differentiating DMVD patients from normal as well as FED from BD. Morphological analysis in the DMVD group revealed a progressive increase in multiple parameters from NL to FED to BD, allowing for accurate diagnosis of these entities. The strongest predictors of the presence of DMVD included billowing height and volume. Three-dimensional billowing height with a cutoff value of 1.0 mm differentiated DMVD from NL without overlap, and billowing volume with a cutoff value 1.15 mL differentiated between FED and BD without overlap. CONCLUSIONS Morphological analysis as a form of decision support in assessing MV billowing revealed significant quantifiable differences between NL, FED, and BD patients, allowing accurate classification of the etiology of MV prolapse and determination of the anticipated complexity of repair.

Effect of position on echocardiographic diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse

Echocardiography has been accepted as the diagnostic modality of choice for mitral valve prolapse (MVP). The determine the effect of position on echocardiographic diagnosis of MVP, we examined 693 consecutive patients referred to the echocardiography laboratory because of suspected MVP. First, patients were examined using the usual standard M-Mode echocardiography( left parasternal third or fou...

Right sided heart evaluation after successful mitral valve replacement.

Introduction: It is well-documented that right-sided heart dysfunction and significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (TVR) have adverse effects on patient outcomes after left-sided heart valve surgery. Therefore, the evaluation of right ventriclular (RV) function and TR severity in patients who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR), associated with/without concomitant su...

Can three-dimensional echocardiography accurately predict complexity of mitral valve repair?

OBJECTIVE Feasibility of mitral repair is a key factor in the decision to operate for mitral regurgitation. Repair feasibility is highly dependent on surgical experience and repair complexity. We sought an objective means of predicting complexity of repair using three-dimensional (3D) transoesophageal echocardiography. METHODS In a cohort of 786 patients who underwent mitral valve surgery bet...

Mitral valve repair results in better right ventricular remodelling than valve replacement for degenerative mitral regurgitation: a three-dimensional echocardiographic study.

INTRODUCTION Right ventricular (RV) remodelling may be an important determinant of clinical outcome in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery for mitral regurgitation. In the present study we hypothesised that, compared to valve replacement, mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation may result in better RV remodelling, as assessed by real-time, three-dimensional echocardiograp...
