Valvular Heart Disease: Therapy Presentation Number: 1284M-09 Authors: Andrea Colli, Eleonora Bizzotto, Laura Besola, Erica Manzan, Fabio Zucchetta, Roberto Bellu, Cristiano Sarais, Lorenzo Bagozzi, Matteo Montagner, Demetrio Pittarello, Dario Gregori, Gino Gerosa, University of Padua, Padua, Italy Background: Transapical Off-Pump mitral valve repair with Neochord implantation (TOP-MINI) is an innovative minimally invasive procedure to treat degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) due to prolapse or flail.
Methods: Clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of consecutive patients through 1 year follow-up (FU) were obtained from the Institutional database. Events were analysed according to the latest Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium (MVARC) consensus report.
Results: From November 2013 to September 2015, 79 consecutive patients with severe MR underwent TOP-MINI procedure. A 30-days FU was obtained for 72 patients, whilst 58 and 41 reached respectively 6-month and 1-year FU. Median age was 70 years (IQR 59-77), median STS score was 1,11% (IQR 0,5-2). Seventy patients (89%) had a posterior leaflet disease, 6 (8%) an anterior leaflet disease and 3 (4%) a combined disease. Three neochordae were implanted in 22 (28%) patients, 4 in 37 (47%), 5 in 14 (6%), 6 in 5 patients (6%) and 8 in 1 (1%). MVARC technical success was achieved in 78 (99%). MVARC early structural failure and functional failure were 1 (1,3%) in both cases. At 30-day FU MVARC procedural success was achieved for 69 (96%) patients. Two (3%) all-cause periprocedural death occurred (compassionate cases). MVARC device success was achieved for 69 (96%). At 6-month FU MVARC device success was reached for 57 patients (98%). Three patients presented a recurrence of moderate to severe MR, two were reoperated and one was not reoperated because of good clinical status. At 1-year FU MVARC device success was reached for 39 patients (95%) and MVARC patient success was reached for 39 (95%). One patient (2%) presented a recurrence of moderate to severe MR and underwent surgery and 1 patient (2%) presented recurrence of moderate to severe MR but was not reoperated because of good clinical status and high surgical risk (STS 9%). Conclusions: Transapical off-pump echo guided mitral valve repair with neochord implantation is a safe surgical option, with acute good clinical and echocardiographic results. Results are stable over time providing good long term survival
