Brief Summary

Are there differences in outcome of mitral valve replacement with preservation of mitral apparatus among rheumatic and/or ischemic mitral lesions?.

Mitral valve replacement with preservation of leaflets, and added coronary artery-bypass surgery, when indicated, is it a feasible and reproducible procedure?.

The study was designed to compare outcome after prosthetic mitral replacement with preservation of mitral apparatus for rheumatic valve disease with outcome of replacement for ischemic myocardium and mitral valve disease, The outcomes will be guided by clinical assessment. and echo-cardiograph.

Detailed Description

Objectives: The aim is to compare outcome of modified preservation of mitral valve apparatus during prosthetic mitral replacement for rheumatic versus myocardial ischemia \&mitral valve disease.

Methods ;This prospective cross-sectional comparative study will include 50 patients with isolated rheumatic mitral valve disease (group A) and 50 patients with mitral disease and myocardial ischemia (group B), surgery is expected to be performed between 2017 and 2020 at one center. All patients will have modified preservation of mitral apparatus during prosthetic mitral replacement. Additionally, group B patients will have bypass grafts to left anterior descending and/or posterior descending / right coronary artery. Data will be collected and analyzed.

The Institutional Review Board (IRB), Ethics Committee (EC)-approval and consent of each patient were obtained.

Criteria for inclusion of patients and exclusion of others were determined according to the guide lines.

Statistical analysis::

Qualitative variables and their association among both groups were studied by applying Chi-square test and Fisher Exact test. Quantitative variables among both groups were compared by applying independent samples t-test. P \< 0.05 values mean statistically-significant results.

Inclusion Criteria

:

Mitral stenosis (MS)

  • symptoms are severely limiting and cannot be managed with diuresis and heart rate control.

Mitral regurgitation(MR):

* acute severe MR require surgical correction for hemo-dynamics and relief of symptoms .

Chronic primary mitral regurgitation:

* rheumatic heart disease: replacement before irreversible changes occur can be curative.

Mixed Mitral Stenosis and Mitral Regurgitation:

  • If beta blockers and diuretics do not relieve symptoms, replacement should be performed only in patients who have severe limiting symptoms.
  • Myocardial ischemia associating or complicated with miral valve disease.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients showing good response to medical therapy, and Cases complicated by:
  • ineffective endocarditis,
  • previous myocardial re-vascularization
  • ischemic ventricular septal defect,
  • left ventricular aneurysm,
  • Ruptured papillary muscles of mitral apparatus.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Smoking indexOne week before surgery(or during first clinical visit) .

Number of Packs every day X number of years of smoking= Pack.year,

Age and gender for each participantOne week before surgery .

Males above 40 years and Females above 45 years need pre-operative coronary angio-graph

For each participant: pathological:type of mitral valve lesionSeven days before surgery .

severe stenosis with mitral area \< 1 cm square, severe regurgitation, or mixed lesions

For each participant: etiological :type of mitral valve lesionSeven days before surgery- echo-cardiograph.

Rheumatic: distorted thickened leaflets,thickened fibrosed chordae or ischemic incompetence

For each participant:, assessing sub-valvular apparatusOne week before surgery. with Echo-cardiograph.

Thickened chordae, ruptured chordae, ischemia of papillary muscles or lateral ventricular wall.

Abascal echo-cardiographic mitral valve score (Wilkins score)One week before surgery.with Echo-cardiograph

:if score is 8 or less it is good for balloon valvo-plasty, if \> 8 surgery is recommended ( leaflet mobility, thickness and calcification. Fourthly, sub-valvular thickening., higher scores = more deterioration

left ventricular wall motion abnormalityone week before surgery - with an echo-cardiograph

hypokinesia, Akinesia, Dyskinesia of certain segment(s)

Number of participants with Signs of left ventricular dysfunctionseven days before surgery echo-cardiograph examination

low ejection fraction \<52%, low stroke volume\< 70 ml, low cardiac output \<5 litres per minute

Number of participants with pre-operative coronary artery diseaseseven days before surgery, coronary angio-graph

Expected on clinical bases and .proved by Echo-cardiograph-findings

Number of participants with pre-operative ischemic complicationsseven days before surgery echo-cardiograph examination

left ventricular thrombi, septal and left ventricular wall thickness in mm .

Assessment of any evolving new prosthetic valve dysfunctionintra-operative trans-esophageal echo-cardiograph examination

Left atrioventricular outflow stenosis, prosthetic dysfunction due to preservation of valve apparatus

Change in post-operative left ventricular functions5 days post-operatively and end of 6th and 12 months after surgery with Echo-Cardiograph

: Low Fractional Shortening \< 28% , Ejection fraction \< 40%,, increased left ventricular dimensions and volume

Change of Prosthetic mitral valve functionsMonthly through study completion up to 12 months after surgery..... with Echo-cardiograph

Development of para-valvular leak or central jet of regurgitation or stuck valve by a thrombus
