==Overview==
Chronic secondary [[MR]] is associated with impaired prognosis and its management includes [[electrophysiological]], [[transcatheter]], and [[surgical interventions]]. [[Mitral valve surgery]] is recommended in [[patients]] with severe secondary [[MR]] undergoing [[CABG]] or other [[cardiac surgery]]. Decision of surgical approach should be individualized based on the [[patient]] [[characteristics]]. In selected [[patients]] without advanced [[LV remodelling]], [[mitral valve repair]] resulted in improvement in [[symptoms]], and reverse [[LV remodeling]]. [[Valve replacement]] prevents recurrence of [[mitral regurgitation]]. [[Mitral transcatheter edge to edge repair]] ([[TEER]]) with the [[MitraClip]] system is a minimal-invasive treatment option for secondary [[MR]]. Two [[RCTs]] ([[COAPT]] and [[MITRA-FR]]) demonstrated the safety and efficacy of [[procedure]] in [[patients]] with [[symptomatic]] [[heart failure]] and severe secondary [[MR]] despite [[medical therapy]], who are not eligible for [[surgery]].

==Surgical Therapy for Chronic Mitral Regurgitation==


==Indications==
===Primary [[Mitral Regurgitation]]===
Surgery is indicated in patients with '''symptomatic mitral valve regurgitation''', also it is indicated in patients with abnormalities in LV size or function (These include a [[left ventricular ejection fraction]] ([[LVEF]]) of less than 60% and a left ventricular end systolic dimension (LVESD) of greater than 45 mm), [[pulmonary hypertension]], or new onset [[atrial fibrillation]] even without symptoms <ref name="pmid18820172">{{cite journal| author=Bonow RO, Carabello BA, Chatterjee K, de Leon AC, Faxon DP, Freed MD et al.| title=2008 Focused update incorporated into the ACC/AHA 2006 guidelines for the management of patients with valvular heart disease: a report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines (Writing Committee to Revise the 1998 Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Valvular Heart Disease): endorsed by the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists, Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, and Society of Thoracic Surgeons. | journal=Circulation | year= 2008 | volume= 118 | issue= 15 | pages= e523-661 | pmid=18820172 | doi=10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.108.190748 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=18820172  }} </ref>. The patient with severe LV dysfunction (an LVEF < 30% and/or a left ventricular end-systolic dimension greater than 55 mm poses a higher risk but may undergo surgery if chordal preservation is likely.

* Primary [[MR]] is a mechanical problem of the [[leaflet]] coaptation that needs [[ mitral valve]] mechanical intervention.
* Symptomatic [[patients]] with severe [[MR]] have worsened prognosis even with normal [[LV function]]. Therefore, the onset of [[symptoms ]]is an indication of [[mitral valve]] [[surgery]].<ref name="pmid20667334">{{cite journal |vauthors=Gillinov AM, Mihaljevic T, Blackstone EH, George K, Svensson LG, Nowicki ER, Sabik JF, Houghtaling PL, Griffin B |title=Should patients with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation delay surgery until symptoms develop? |journal=Ann Thorac Surg |volume=90 |issue=2 |pages=481–8 |date=August 2010 |pmid=20667334 |doi=10.1016/j.athoracsur.2010.03.101 |url=}}</ref>

*Mitral valve repair is recommended in the expertise center. However, [[mitral valve replacement]] is preferable to a poor repair.
* [[ Annuloplasty]] and repair of the [[posterior leaflet]] have a lower [[mortality rate]] of <1%.<ref name="pmid16928491">{{cite journal |vauthors=Suri RM, Schaff HV, Dearani JA, Sundt TM, Daly RC, Mullany CJ, Enriquez-Sarano M, Orszulak TA |title=Survival advantage and improved durability of mitral repair for leaflet prolapse subsets in the current era |journal=Ann Thorac Surg |volume=82 |issue=3 |pages=819–26 |date=September 2006 |pmid=16928491 |doi=10.1016/j.athoracsur.2006.03.091 |url=}}</ref>
*The onset of [[symptoms]], [[LV dysfunction]], or [[pulmonary hypertension]] worsens the prognosis for [[MR]].
* [[MR]] may lead to progressively more severe [[MR]]  causing [[LV dilation]], stress on the [[mitral]] apparatus, further damage to the valve apparatus, more severe [[MR]], and further [[LV dilation]] and initiating a cycle of increasing [[LV]] volumes and [[MR]].<ref name="pmid19188506">{{cite journal |vauthors=Kang DH, Kim JH, Rim JH, Kim MJ, Yun SC, Song JM, Song H, Choi KJ, Song JK, Lee JW |title=Comparison of early surgery versus conventional treatment in asymptomatic severe mitral regurgitation |journal=Circulation |volume=119 |issue=6 |pages=797–804 |date=February 2009 |pmid=19188506 |doi=10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.108.802314 |url=}}</ref>
*Longstanding [[volume]] overload leads to irreversible [[LV dysfunction]] and a poorer prognosis.
*[[ Patients]] with severe [[MR]] who develop an [[LVEF]] <60% or LVESD ≥40 mm have already developed [[LV systolic dysfunction]].
*[[LV function]] and size returned to normal after [[mitral valve repair]] in a study.<ref name="pmid7641361">{{cite journal |vauthors=Starling MR |title=Effects of valve surgery on left ventricular contractile function in patients with long-term mitral regurgitation |journal=Circulation |volume=92 |issue=4 |pages=811–8 |date=August 1995 |pmid=7641361 |doi=10.1161/01.cir.92.4.811 |url=}}</ref>
*[[Mitral Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair]] (TEER) with the anterior and posterior leaflets clipped together at ≥1 location is safe and effective in treating severely symptomatic  [[primary MR]] who are at high risk for [[surgery]].
* Studies of TEER with a mitral valve clip showed improved [[symptoms]] and a reduction in [[MR]] by 2 to 3 grades, leading to reverse remodeling of the [[LV]].<ref name="pmid29096801">{{cite journal |vauthors=Sorajja P, Vemulapalli S, Feldman T, Mack M, Holmes DR, Stebbins A, Kar S, Thourani V, Ailawadi G |title=Outcomes With Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair in the United States: An STS/ACC TVT Registry Report |journal=J Am Coll Cardiol |volume=70 |issue=19 |pages=2315–2327 |date=November 2017 |pmid=29096801 |doi=10.1016/j.jacc.2017.09.015 |url=}}</ref>
*[[Rheumatic mitral valve disease]] is less suitable for [[mitral repair]] compared with complex [[degenerative disease]].
* In the presence of thickened or calcified leaflets, an extensive subvalvular disease with chordal fusion and shortening, and progression of [[rheumatic disease]] the durability of repair would be limited.
* Repair of [[rheumatic mitral valve disease]] should be limited to [[patients]] with less advanced [[disease ]] or in [[patients]] that [[mechanical prosthesis]] cannot be used because of [[anticoagulation]] contraindication.
*[[Mitral valve repair]] is recommended as follows:
:*Severe primary [[MR]] limited to less than one-half of the posterior leaflet
:* Inappropriate [[ Mitral valve replacement]]
*  [[Mortality rate]] of repair is <1%, long-term survival rate equivalent to that of age-matched general population, approximately 95% freedom from reoperation, and >80% freedom from recurrent moderate or severe (≥3) MR at 15 to 20 years after [[surgery]].<ref name="pmid27899396">{{cite journal |vauthors=Lazam S, Vanoverschelde JL, Tribouilloy C, Grigioni F, Suri RM, Avierinos JF, de Meester C, Barbieri A, Rusinaru D, Russo A, Pasquet A, Michelena HI, Huebner M, Maalouf J, Clavel MA, Szymanski C, Enriquez-Sarano M |title=Twenty-Year Outcome After Mitral Repair Versus Replacement for Severe Degenerative Mitral Regurgitation: Analysis of a Large, Prospective, Multicenter, International Registry |journal=Circulation |volume=135 |issue=5 |pages=410–422 |date=January 2017 |pmid=27899396 |doi=10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.116.023340 |url=}}</ref>
* [[Posterior leaflet repair]] is preferred to [[mitral valve replacement]] with a [[success rate]] ≥95%.


Surgery may be recommended in '''asymptomatic patients''' with preserved left ventricular function if the surgery performed in a center in which the likelihood of successful surgery is greater than 90 percent, otherwise; the patient can be safely treated with watchful waiting as long as the patient is carefully monitored <ref name="pmid16651470">{{cite journal| author=Rosenhek R, Rader F, Klaar U, Gabriel H, Krejc M, Kalbeck D et al.| title=Outcome of watchful waiting in asymptomatic severe mitral regurgitation. | journal=Circulation | year= 2006 | volume= 113 | issue= 18 | pages= 2238-44 | pmid=16651470 | doi=10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.105.599175 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=16651470  }} </ref>. The pstient should be seen every 6 to 12 months. Echocardiography should be obtained at these visits. The early surgery exposes the patient to [[perioperative morbidity]] and mortality as well as the long-term complications of a [[prosthetic valve]]. But it is important to have an objective measure of LV function in patients with asymptomatic MR, because there may be benefit from surgery prior to the onset of symptoms of the depression of the ventricular function in some cases. In patients with borderline values of ventricular size or function in whom access to such monitoring is limited; Surgery may be done earlier.

Overview

Chronic secondary MR is associated with impaired prognosis and its management includes electrophysiological, transcatheter, and surgical interventions. Mitral valve surgery is recommended in patients with severe secondary MR undergoing CABG or other cardiac surgery. Decision of surgical approach should be individualized based on the patient characteristics. In selected patients without advanced LV remodelling, mitral valve repair resulted in improvement in symptoms, and reverse LV remodeling. Valve replacement prevents recurrence of mitral regurgitation. Mitral transcatheter edge to edge repair (TEER) with the MitraClip system is a minimal-invasive treatment option for secondary MR. Two RCTs (COAPT and MITRA-FR) demonstrated the safety and efficacy of procedure in patients with symptomatic heart failure and severe secondary MR despite medical therapy, who are not eligible for surgery.

Surgical Therapy for Chronic Mitral Regurgitation

Primary Mitral Regurgitation


2020 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Management of Patients With Valvular Heart Disease: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Joint Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines[9]

Recommendations for Intervention for Chronic Primary MR Referenced studies that support the recommendations are summarized in the Online Data Supplement

Class I
2.   In asymptomatic patients with severe primary MR and LV systolic dysfunction (LVEF ≤60%, LVESD ≥40 mm) (Stage C2), mitral valve surgery is recommended(Level of Evidence: B-NR)

3.   In patients with severe primary MR for whom surgery is indicated, mitral valve repair is recommended in preference to mitral valve replacement when the anatomic cause of MR is degenerative disease, if a successful and durable repair is possible.(Level of Evidence: B-NR)

Class IIa
4.   In asymptomatic patients with severe primary MR and normal LV systolic function (LVEF ≥60% and LVESD ≤40 mm) (Stage C1), mitral valve repair is reasonable when the likelihood of a successful and durable repair without residual MR is >95% with an expected mortality rate of <1%, when it can be performed at a Primary or Comprehensive Valve Center.(Level of Evidence: B-NR)
Class IIb
5.   In asymptomatic patients with severe primary MR and normal LV systolic function (LVEF >60% and LVESD <40 mm) (Stage C1) but with a progressive increase in LV size or decrease in EF on ≥3 serial imaging studies, mitral valve surgery may be considered irrespective of the probability of a successful and durable repair(Level of Evidence: C-LD)

Recommendations for Intervention for Secondary MR Referenced studies that support the recommendations are summarized in Online Data Supplement

Class IIa
1.   In patients with chronic severe secondary MR related to LV systolic dysfunction (LVEF <50%) who have persistent symptoms (NYHA class II, III, or IV) while on optimal GDMT for HF (Stage D), TEER is reasonable in patients with appropriate anatomy as defined on TEE and with LVEF between 20% and 50%, LVESD ≤70 mm, and pulmonary artery systolic pressure ≤70  mm Hg. (Level of Evidence: B-R)

2.   In patients with severe secondary MR (Stages C and D), mitral valve surgery is reasonable when CABG is undertaken for the treatment of myocardial ischemia. (Level of Evidence: B-NR)

Class IIb
3.   In patients with chronic severe secondary MR from atrial annular dilation with preserved LV systolic function (LVEF ≥50%) who have severe persistent symptoms (NYHA class III or IV) despite therapy for HF and therapy for associated AF or other comorbidities (Stage D), mitral valve surgery may be considered. (Level of Evidence: B-NR)

4.   In patients with chronic severe secondary MR related to LV systolic dysfunction (LVEF <50%) who have persistent severe symptoms (NYHA class III or IV) while on optimal GDMT for HF (Stage D), mitral valve surgery may be considered. (Level of Evidence: B-NR)

5.   In patients with CAD and chronic severe secondary MR related to LV systolic dysfunction (LVEF <50%) (Stage D) who are undergoing mitral valve surgery because of severe symptoms (NYHA class III or IV) that persist despite GDMT for HF, chordal-sparing mitral valve replacement may be reasonable to choose over downsized annuloplasty repair. (Level of Evidence: B-R)


Recommendations for intervention in primary mitral regurgitation
(Class I, Level of Evidence B):

    Recommendations for intervention in chronic severe secondary mitral regurgitation
    (Class I, Level of Evidence B):

    ❑ Valve surgery/intervention is recommended in symptomatic severe secondary MR despite medical therapy or CRT
    ❑Valve surgery is recommended in patients undergoing CABG or other cardiac surgery

    (Class IIa, Level of Evidence B):

    ❑TEER should be considered in selected symptomatic patients, not suitable for surgery and high likelihood of responding to TEER

    (Class IIa, Level of Evidence C):

    ❑ In symptomatic inoperable patients, PCI (and/orTAVI) possibly followed by TEER (in case of persisting severe secondary MR) should be considered

    (Class IIb, Level of Evidence C) :

    ❑ Valve surgery may be considered in symptomatic patients who are appropriate for surgery
    ❑In high-risk symptomatic patients not eligible for surgery and low likelihood of responding to TEER, making decision about TEER procedure or other transcatheter valve therapy and evaluation for ventricular assist device or heart transplant should be considered
