摘要
Earlier authors have shown the improved left ventricular (LV) function after chordae-preserving mitral valve replacement (MVR) in follow-up studies. Seventy-nine consecutive patients undergoing MVR were studied preoperatively and pre-discharge with M-mode and two-dimensional Color Doppler echocardiography for early LV morphometric changes. Conventional MVR was performed in 42 patients (Group 1) and the posterior leaflet-chordae-papillary muscle complex was preserved in 37 patients (Group 2). Both cohorts were similar in age, sex, preoperative NYHA class and valve pathology. Four St. Jude bioprostheses, 9 Medtronic and 66 Sorin prostheses were implanted. The intraoperative and perioperative management protocol was uniform for both groups.The median left atrial dimension in both groups decreased to better physiological levels (53 to 46 mm in group 1, 52.5 to 46 mm in group 2). The median LV enddiastolic dimension increased from 47 to 48 mm in group 1 while it decreased from 56.5 to 49 mm in group 2. The median LV endsystolic dimension remained unchanged in group 1 but decreased in group 2 (37.6 to 36 mm). Echocardiographic documentation of such early changes in the LV dimensions after modified MVR indicates that the beneficial effects of chordal preservation become evident early in the postoperative period and may explain the improved perioperative LV function after modified MVR compared to conventional MVR.
