Pediatric Mitral Regurgitation: Standardized Repair-Oriented Strategy With Leaflet Plication

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.
