Abstract

Patients with advanced heart failure often have functional mitral regurgitation. Left ventricular assist device implantation improves functional mitral regurgitation through left ventricular unloading. However, residual mitral regurgitation after left ventricular assist device implantation leads to adverse outcomes, and whether patients need concomitant mitral valve surgery is not fully elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the predictors of residual mitral regurgitation and to describe the temporal changes in residual mitral regurgitation. We retrospectively enrolled 15 patients with implantable continuous-flow left ventricular assist device, who had significant mitral regurgitation on echocardiography before left ventricular assist device implantation. Three patients had residual mitral regurgitation (mitral regurgitation color jet area/left atrial area >0.2) 1 month after left ventricular assist device implantation. We investigated factors associated with residual mitral regurgitation and compared patients with or without residual mitral regurgitation. On univariate analysis, mitral valve tethering area and mitral regurgitation vena contracta before left ventricular assist device implantation were significantl...Continue Reading
