Mitral valve translocation effectively corrects functional (secondary) mitral regurgitation by creating a large surface of coaptation. The procedure resulted in no postoperative mortality, stroke, or renal failure, and the majority of patients had mild or less mitral regurgitation at 1 and 6 months follow-up. Further studies are needed to evaluate the long-term durability and clinical utility of this operation.
BACKGROUND Functional (secondary) mitral regurgitation (FMR) results from altered geometry of the mitral valve apparatus. Repair with restrictive mitral annuloplasty is associated with high rates of recurrent mitral regurgitation (MR). We developed a novel operative repair for FMR that translocates the intact mitral valve towards the apex. METHODS The mitral valve was detached circumferentially and translocated into the ventricle with a frustum-shaped glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardial patch. Clinical and echocardiographic follow-up was performed. RESULTS Fifteen consecutive patients with FMR (mean age, 59 years; 67% female) had mitral valve translocation between 2018 and 2020. Preoperative mean ejection fraction, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension, and systolic pulmonary artery pressure were 40% +/- 11%, 59 +/- 8 mm, and 49 +/- 21 mm Hg, respectively; 33% had atrial fibrillation. Cardiomyopathy was ischemic in 4 and nonischemic in 11. Concomitant procedures included tricuspid valve operation (n = 8), coronary artery bypass grafting (n = 4), and atrial fibrillation ablation (n = 5). Post bypass transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated none/trace MR in all patients and mean gradient of 3 mm Hg (interquartile range, 2-4 mm Hg). Mean leaflet extent of coaptation was 14 +/- 2 mm (range, 11-17 mm). There was no postoperative mortality, stroke, or renal failure. Predismissal echocardiography showed none/trace MR in 14 patients and mild MR in 1. One patient underwent successful late rerepair of a suture line leak. Twelve patients were alive at latest follow-up and MR at 1 and 6 months was mild or less in all patients with mean leaflet extent of coaptation of 14 +/- 2 mm (range, 12-16 mm) at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS Mitral valve translocation creates a large surface of coaptation and effectively corrects FMR. Further study is needed to demonstrate the long-term durability and clinical utility of this operation. (Ann Thorac Surg 2021;112:1946-53) (c) 2021 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
