Abstract:

Objective: Recurrent ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is caused by displacement of papillary muscles due to progressive increase of the left ventricle end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD). We aimed at demonstrate that, if interpapillary muscle distance (IPD) is surgically stabilized, the increase of LVEDD is not associated to recurrent IMR.
Methods: Ninety-six patient with severe IMR were randomized 1:1 for reduction annuloplasty (RA) vs RA + papillary muscle approximation (PMA). At 5 years follow-up, we evaluated: [1] the association of echocardiographic predictors to recurrent IMR (i.e., moderate-severe MR ± reoperation); [2] the correlation of PMA with an improvement of echocardiographic parameters during the study period (i.e., their Δ between preoperative and 5-year measurements); [3] the quantification of how many standard deviations (SD) PMA reduced adverse outcomes.
Results: IPD was the only independent predictor of recurrent moderate to severe MR (OR 10.55, 95% CI 0.61 | 1.33), when adjusted for α and β angles, tenting area, and LVEDD. PMA correlated to an amelioration of α (ρ -0.85) and β (ρ -0.87) angles, pulmonary systolic arterial pressure (ρ -0.44), recurrent MR (ρ -0.32), tenting area (ρ -0.76), left ventricular ejection fraction (ρ +0.56) and end-systolic diameter (ρ -0.67) (p <0.01 for all). PMA reduced the recurrence of MR of 1.91 SD (95% CI -2.28|-1.54), re-hospitalization for heart failure of 2.61 SD (95% CI -2.99|-2.22), reoperation of 2.64 SD (95% CI -3.04|-2.60) cardiac mortality of 2.9 SD (95% CI -3.30|-2.49), and overall mortality of 3.34 SD (95% CI –3.78|-2.90). The results are further detailed in the Figure.
Conclusions: At 5-years follow-up, recurrent IMR is independently predicted by IPD and not by LVEDD. If IPD is surgically stabilized, progressive LVEDD enlargement does not associate with recurrent IMR.
