Background The clinical significance of mitral annular calcification (MAC) in patients undergoing mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair is not well understood. There is limited evidence regarding the feasibility, durability of repair, and the prognostic value of MAC in this population. We sought to examine the prognostic value of MAC, its severity, and its impact on procedural success and durability of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair. Methods and Results We reviewed the records of 280 patients with moderate-severe or severe mitral regurgitation who underwent mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair with MitraClip from March 2014 to March 2022. The primary end point was cumulative survival at 1 year. Independent factors associated with the primary end point were identified using multivariable Cox regression. Among 280 patients included in the final analysis, 249 had none/mild MAC, and 31 had moderate/severe MAC. Median follow-up was 23.1 months (interquartile range: 11.1-40.4). Procedural success was comparable in the MAC and non-MAC groups (92.6% versus 91.4%, =0.79) with similar rates of residual mitral regurgitation ≤2 at 1 year (86.7% versus 93.2%, =0.55). Moderate/severe MAC was associated with less improvement in New York Heart Association III/IV at 30 days when compared with none/mild MAC (45.8% versus 14.3%, =0.001). The moderate/severe MAC group had lower cumulative 1-year survival (56.8% versus 80.0%, hazard ratio [HR], 1.98 [95% CI, 1.27-3.10], =0.002). Moderate/severe MAC and Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk of mortality for mitral valve repair were independently associated with the primary end point (HR, 2.20 [1.10-4.41], =0.02; and HR, 1.014 [1.006-1.078], =0.02, respectively). Conclusions Mitral TEER is a safe and feasible intervention in selected patients with significant MAC and associated with similar mitral regurgitation reduction at 1 year compared with patients with none/mild MAC. Patients with moderate/severe MAC had a high 1-year mortality and less improvement in their symptoms after TEER.
在接受经导管二尖瓣瓣环成形术边缘到边缘修复的患者中,二尖瓣环钙化(MAC)的临床意义尚不清楚。关于该人群中 MAC 的可行性、修复的耐久性以及预后价值的证据有限。我们旨在研究 MAC 的预后价值、其严重程度以及对经导管二尖瓣瓣环成形术边缘到边缘修复的程序成功率和耐久性的影响。
我们回顾了 2014 年 3 月至 2022 年 3 月期间接受 MitraClip 经导管二尖瓣瓣环成形术边缘到边缘修复的 280 例中重度或重度二尖瓣反流患者的记录。主要终点是 1 年时的累积生存率。使用多变量 Cox 回归确定与主要终点相关的独立因素。在最终分析的 280 例患者中,249 例无/轻度 MAC,31 例中度/重度 MAC。中位随访时间为 23.1 个月(四分位距:11.1-40.4)。MAC 组和非 MAC 组的程序成功率相当(92.6%比 91.4%,=0.79),1 年时残余二尖瓣反流≤2 的比例相似(86.7%比 93.2%,=0.55)。与无/轻度 MAC 相比,中度/重度 MAC 患者在 30 天时纽约心脏协会 III/IV 级的改善程度较低(45.8%比 14.3%,=0.001)。中度/重度 MAC 组 1 年累积生存率较低(56.8%比 80.0%,风险比[HR],1.98[95%CI,1.27-3.10],=0.002)。中度/重度 MAC 和胸外科医生协会预测的二尖瓣修复死亡率与主要终点独立相关(HR,2.20[1.10-4.41],=0.02;和 HR,1.014[1.006-1.078],=0.02)。
在有明显 MAC 的选定患者中,经导管二尖瓣瓣环成形术边缘到边缘修复是一种安全可行的干预措施,与无/轻度 MAC 患者相比,1 年时的二尖瓣反流减少情况相似。中度/重度 MAC 患者的 1 年死亡率较高,TEER 后症状改善较少。
