Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) can provide valuable information for preprocedural planning of transcatheter mitral valve interventions. However, no data exist on MDCT parameters predicting residual mitral regurgitation (MR) post-MitraClip (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL, USA).
We analyzed preprocedural MDCTs of 78 consecutive patients with secondary MR undergoing MitraClip implantation at our institution. Moderate-or-severe mitral leaflet calcification (MLC) was defined as calcification, with-or-without mitral annular calcification, extending beyond the mitral leaflet base. Residual MR was assessed by postprocedural transesophageal echocardiography, and clinical outcomes were assessed at 1-year.
Fifteen patients (19 %) had residual MR ≥2+. Compared to patients with none-or-mild residual MR, MDCT-derived mitral valve orifice area (MVOA) to mitral annulus area (MAA) ratio was significantly lower (0.32 ± 0.06 vs. 0.39 ± 0.09; p = 0.003), and the prevalence of MLC was higher (40 % vs. 18 %; p = 0.057) in those with residual MR ≥2+. Furthermore, the MVOA/MAA ratio and MLC were independent predictors of residual MR ≥2+ post-MitraClip [adjusted odds ratio (OR): 0.88 (0.80-0.97) and 5.50 (1.16-26.23), respectively]. On receiver-operating-characteristic-curve analysis, MVOA/MAA ratio <0.31 had a sensitivity of 87 % and a specificity of 60 % for residual MR ≥2+. When patients were classified according to the presence of MLC and an MVOA/MAA ratio <0.31, those with both parameters had significantly higher rates of postprocedural residual MR ≥2+ and mitral reintervention at 1-year than those with only one, and those without both parameters.
In patients with secondary MR undergoing the MitraClip procedure, preprocedural MDCT parameters, specifically MVOA/MAA ratio and MLC, are useful to predict postprocedural residual MR.
多排螺旋计算机断层扫描(MDCT)可为经导管二尖瓣介入治疗的术前规划提供有价值的信息。然而,目前尚无关于 MDCT 预测二尖瓣修复术后残余二尖瓣反流(MR)的参数。
我们分析了在我院接受二尖瓣修复术的 78 例继发性 MR 患者的术前 MDCT。中度或重度二尖瓣叶钙化(MLC)定义为伴有或不伴有二尖瓣环钙化的钙化,延伸至二尖瓣叶基底之外。术后经食管超声心动图评估残余 MR,1 年后评估临床结果。
15 例(19%)患者存在残余 MR≥2+。与无或轻度残余 MR 的患者相比,MDCT 得出的二尖瓣瓣口面积(MVOA)与二尖瓣环面积(MAA)比值明显更低(0.32±0.06 比 0.39±0.09;p=0.003),且存在 MLC 的患者比例更高(40%比 18%;p=0.057)。此外,MVOA/MAA 比值和 MLC 是二尖瓣修复术后残余 MR≥2+的独立预测因素[校正比值比(OR):0.88(0.80-0.97)和 5.50(1.16-26.23)]。在接受者操作特征曲线分析中,MVOA/MAA 比值<0.31 的敏感度为 87%,特异性为 60%,用于预测残余 MR≥2+。当根据 MLC 存在和 MVOA/MAA 比值<0.31 对患者进行分类时,与仅存在其中一个参数的患者相比,同时存在这两个参数的患者术后残余 MR≥2+和二尖瓣再介入的发生率显著更高,而不存在这两个参数的患者发生率则较低。
在接受二尖瓣修复术的继发性 MR 患者中,术前 MDCT 参数,特别是 MVOA/MAA 比值和 MLC,可用于预测术后残余 MR。
