Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few reports of the outcomes of standardized surgical management addressing the etiologic and morphologic aspects of mitral valve malformation according to Carpentier's classification. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of mitral valve repair in children according to Carpentier's classification. METHODS Patients who underwent mitral valve repair at our institution between 2000 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative data, surgical techniques, and outcomes were analyzed according to Carpentier's classification. The proportion of patients free of mitral valve replacement and reoperation was estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS Twenty-three patients (median operative age, four months) were followed up for 10 (range, 2-21) years. Preoperative mitral regurgitation was severe in 12 patients and moderate in 11 patients. Eight, five, seven, and three patients had Carpentier's type 1, 2, 3, and 4 lesions, respectively. Ventricular septal defect (N = 9) and double outlet of the great arteries from the right ventricle (N = 3) were the most commonly associated cardiac malformations. There were no cases of operative mortality or deaths during the follow-up. The overall five-year rate of freedom from mitral valve replacement was 91%, whereas the five-year rates of freedom from reoperation were 74%, 80%, 71%, and 67% in type 1, 2, 3, and 4 lesions, respectively. Postoperative mitral regurgitation at the last follow-up was moderate in three patients and less than mild in 20 patients. CONCLUSIONS Current surgical management of congenital mitral regurgitation is generally considered adequate; however, more complicated cases required a combination of various surgical techniques.

Abstract
Background Mitral valve repair is preferred for pediatric mitral valve disease. However, it is technically difficult because of complex lesions, poor surgical exposure, and tissue fragility, especially in infants. We investigated the midterm outcomes of mitral valve surgery for mitral regurgitation in infancy. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 18 patients (aged <12 months old) undergoing mitral valve surgery for mitral regurgitation at our institution between October 2005 and March 2019. The patients had 10 acquired and 8 congenital valve lesions as follows: torn chordae ( n = 6), leaflet prolapse ( n = 4), posterior leaflet hypoplasia ( n = 3), anterior leaflet cleft ( n = 2), infective endocarditis ( n = 1), papillary muscle rupture ( n = 1), and hammock valve ( n = 1). Results All patients initially underwent mitral valve repair. There was no operative mortality, and 1 case of late death. The median follow-up period was 7 years and 9 months. Reoperation was performed in 3 patients, re-repair (twice) in 1 patient with a hammock valve, and mitral valve replacement in 2 patients. Fifteen patients had at most mild mitral regurgitation at the last follow-up. A transmitral mean pressure gradient of over 5 mm Hg was observed in 3 cases, including the patient with a hammock valve. Postoperative mitral annular diameter increased within the normal range in all patients. Survival and reoperation-free rates at 5 and 10 years were 94.4% and 83.0%, respectively. Conclusions Mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation in infancy is safe and feasible with satisfactory midterm outcomes, even under serious preoperative conditions.

Mitral and aortic valve regurgitation following surgical and transcatheter perimembranous ventricular septal defect closure in children and adolescents: midterm outcomes. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2022; 22:315. [PMID: 35840901 PMCID: PMC9287911 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-022-02757-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects (pmVSD), either surgical or percutaneous, might improve or cause new-onset mitral regurgitation (MR) and aortic regurgitation (AR). We aimed to evaluate the changes in MR and AR after pmVSD closure by these two methods. MATERIAL AND METHOD We performed a comparative retrospective data review of all pediatric patients with pmVSDs treated at our institution with surgical or antegrade percutaneous methods from 2014 to 2019 and 146 consecutive patients under 18 years were enrolled. We closely looked at the mitral and aortic valve function after repair. Included patients had no or lower than moderate aortic valve prolapse and baseline normal mitral or aortic valve function or less than moderate MR or AR. RESULTS Out of 146 patients, 83 (57%) pmVSDs were closed percutaneously, and 63 (43%) pmVSDs were closed surgically. 80 and 62 patients were included for MR evaluation, and 81 and 62 patients for AR evaluation in percutaneous and surgical groups. The mean follow-up time was 40.48 ± 21.59 months in the surgery group and 20.44 ± 18.66 months in the transcatheter group. Mild to moderate degrees of MR and AR did not change or decreased in most patients. In detail, MR of 70% and AR of 50% of the valves were resolved or decreased in both groups. 13% of patients with no MR developed trivial to mild MR, and 10% of patients with no AR showed mild to moderate AR after pmVSD closure in both methods. There was no significant difference between the two methods regarding emerging new regurgitation or change in the severity of the previous regurgitation. CONCLUSION pmVSD closure usually improves mild to moderate MR and AR to a nearly similar extent in both percutaneous and surgical methods among children and adolescents. It might lead to the onset of new MR or AR in cases with no regurgitation.

Abstract
To introduce a standardized strategy and reproducible procedures of mitral repair for mitral regurgitation in the pediatric population with leaflet plication as a principal technique. Consecutive patients who had undergone mitral repair by our standardized repair-oriented strategy in our institution from January 2016 to December 2019 were included retrospectively. The standardized repair strategy included 3-step inspections and repair from the subvalvular to leaflet, and then to the annular level. The main surgical techniques included chordae detachment, papillary muscle splitting, leaflet plication, and posterior annuloplasty. The indication for leaflet plication was that the distance between 2 adjacent chordae tendineae was greater than 4 mm. A total of 113 patients were enrolled. During 22.6-month (range, 2-50 months) follow-up period, primary endpoint was documented in 15 (13.3%) patients, including 1 (0.9%) death, 0 transplantation, and 14 (12.4%) functional mitral failure. Freedom form primary endpoints at 6 months, 1 year, and 3 years was 94.7%, 94.7%, and 82.3%, respectively. Significant independent predictors of functional mitral valve failure were younger age (hazard ratio [HR], 0.28; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.04-0.72; P = 0.037) and ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) (HR, 24.34; 95% CI, 4.52-47.33; P < 0.001). Leaflet plication was significantly associated with well-functioned mitral valve (HR, 7.42; 95% CI, 2.35-30.54; P = 0.004). Compared with nonischemic MR group, ischemic MR group was noted with higher occurrence of primary endpoint events (11/28 vs 4/85, P < 0.001). The short- to mid-term outcomes of standardized mitral repair technique with leaflet plication were favorable, among which, however, repair for mitral regurgitation with ischemic lesions is comparatively challenging.
