Abstract

Background Left atrial (LA) dimension is a marker of disease severity and outcome in primary and secondary mitral regurgitation. In transcatheter mitral valve repair, LA enlargement might additionally impact on device handling and technical success through an altered anatomy and atrial annular dilatation. Methods and results Data from the multicentre German TRAnscatheter Mitral valve Interventions registry (TRAMI) were used to analyse the association of baseline LA diameter by tertiles with efficacy, safety and long-term clinical outcome in patients undergoing edge-to-edge repair with MitraClip. In 520 of 843 patients prospectively enrolled in TRAMI, baseline LA diameter were reported [median (interquartile range) LA diameter in tertiles: 44 (40-46) mm, 51 (48-53) mm and 60 (55-66) mm]. Larger LA diameters were significantly associated with secondary aetiology of mitral regurgitation, lower ejection fraction, larger left ventricle, male sex and atrial fibrillation (all P < 0.05). Technical success was not different across tertiles (96%, 95.4% and 98.4%, respectively; P = 0.43) as were major in-hospital cardiovascular and cerebral adverse events (mortality, myocardial infarction or stroke: 1.8%, 1.2% and 4.4%, respectively; P = 0.11 across tertiles). However, 4-year mortality significantly increased with larger LA diameter (32.9%, 46.4% and 51.7%, respectively; P < 0.01), as did hospitalization in survivors (60%, 67.6% and 78.9%, respectively; P < 0.05). The association between LA diameter and outcome remained significant after multivariable adjustment including baseline left ventricular end-diastolic diameter. Conclusion Left atrial enlargement is a strong and independent predictor of adverse long-term outcome after transcatheter mitral valve repair. Further study is warranted to examine whether timely intervention may have the potential to modify outcome.

Abstract

Objectives Information on gender-related differences in terms of baseline characteristics and clinical outcome of patients undergoing MitraClip (R) implantation in daily clinical practice have been studied in smaller populations previously. This study sought to additionally evaluate gender-related differences in a larger German real-world patient population. Methods and results We analyzed data from the prospective and multicenter German TRAMI Registry. Between 08/2010 and 07/2013 327 women and 501 men underwent MitraClip (R) implantation for significant mitral valve regurgitation. Female patients were significantly older and showed higher rates of frailty compared to men. In contrast, men had significantly higher rates of comorbidities compared to women. The majority of patients underwent MitraClip (R) implantation for secondary mitral regurgitation, with no significant gender-related differences. MitraClip (R) treatment was equally effective in terms of procedural results and residual mitral regurgitation in women and men and complication rates were low. However, in this real-world analysis severe bleeding complications were significantly higher in women (p = .02) and re-intervention rates were significantly higher in men after MitraClip (R) treatment (p = .02). Women showed less improvement in functional NYHA class after MitraClip (R) treatment compared to men at 1-year follow-up (FU; p < .001). No significant differences between female and male patients were found in 1-year mortality and in re-hospitalization rates. Conclusion In this analysis from a large prospective, multicenter real-world registry MitraClip (R) implantation is safe and effective for treatment of significant mitral regurgitation with equal postprocedural results and mortality rates during 1-year follow-up. Men and women showed a persisting and significant clinical benefit at 1-year FU after treatment. Complication and re-intervention rates were low. Additional studies are needed to further eva

Abstract

The new manual on indications for and performance of echocardiography focuses primarily on the transthoracic echocardiographic approach. The performance of a standardized documentation in transthoracic echocardiography includes the acquisition of several cineloops and Doppler spectra with consecutive measurements illustrated by figures and a scheme of an echocardiographic report. The extended documentation in transthoracic echocardiography is presented with respect to specific pathological alterations of the heart. This includes alterations of the left ventricular wall thickness, the global and regional reduction of left ventricular function, diastolic dysfunction with normal left ventricular systolic function, pressure and volume overload of the right ventricle and the reduction of right ventricular function and pathological alterations of the heart valves. Echocardiography performed in the presence of aortic valve stenosis and regurgitation, mitral valve stenosis and regurgitation, tricuspid valve regurgitation as well as less common heart valve diseases and endocarditis is presented in special sections. The manual ends with sections describing additional echocardiographic modalities, the reporting and the use of emergency echocardiography.
