Left Ventricular Remodeling After Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement With Tendyne: New Insights From Computed Tomography.
2020
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to describe the anatomic and functional changes in left-sided chambers using computed tomographic angiography (CTA) from baseline to 1 month after transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) with the Tendyne prosthesis. Background Data on changes in left atrial and left ventricular (LV) volumes after TMVR implantation are very limited. Methods Patients who underwent TMVR with the Tendyne prosthesis between 2015 and 2018 were analyzed. Changes in LV end-diastolic volume, ejection fraction, LV mass, left atrial volume, and global longitudinal strain were assessed at baseline and 1 month after TMVR using CTA. Specific Tendyne implant characteristics were identified and correlated with remodeling changes. Results A total of 36 patients (median age 74 years; interquartile range [IQR]: 69 to 78 years; 78% men; 86% with secondary mitral regurgitation) were included in this study. There were significant decreases in LV end-diastolic volume (281 ml [IQR: 210 to 317 ml] vs. 239 ml [IQR: 195 to 291 ml]; p Conclusions TMVR with Tendyne results in favorable left-sided chamber remodeling in the majority of patients treated, as detected on CTA at 1 month after implantation. CTA identifies favorable post-TMVR changes, which could be related to specific characteristics of the device implantation.
