Abstract

The myxomatous, degenerated, prolapsed or "floppy" mitral valve is the most common cause of mitral regurgitation in North America. Mitral valve reconstruction for mitral regurgitation was carried out in 219 consecutive patients with a myxomatous mitral valve from 1984 to 1993. Of the 139 men and 80 women, 23 to 84 years of age (mean 63 years), 36% of patients were 70 years of age or older, 77% were in New York Heart Association functional class III or IV, and 29% had coronary artery disease necessitating coronary bypass. The most common operation was posterior leaflet resection (161 patients [73%]). The anterior leaflet was resected in 14 patients, and both the anterior and posterior leaflets were resected in 15 patients. A variety of other techniques were used, including commissuroplasty and use of annuloplasty rings. A flexible Duran ring was used in 111 patients (51%), a Carpentier-Edwards ring in 44 patients (20%), and no ring was used in 64 patients (29%). Five operative deaths occurred (2.3%); four of the five deaths occurred in patients 70 years of age or older (5.1%); and one in 141 patients (0.7%) was younger than 70 years of age. In the late postoperative period (mean follow-up 2 years), 90% of patients had no symptoms, two had endocarditis, and seven patients had thromboemboli (transient in four, permanent in three). Structural valve degeneration requiring reoperation occurred late in 12 patients; eight were in posterior leaflet resection and two in anterior or anterior and posterior; six of 12 had no annuloplasty ring. The incidence of structural valve degeneration was less than 5% from 1990 to 1993. No systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve was seen with postoperative echocardiography before discharge. Actuarial analysis at 5 years for overall survival was 86% ± 5%, freedom from infectious valve degeneration 97% ± 2%, and freedom from thromboembolism 94% ± 3%. Freedom from structural valve degeneration overall was 83% ± 4%, with a flexible ring it was 89% ± 6%, with a rigid ring it was 88% ± 6%, and with no ring it was 67% ± 12% (p = 0.03). Mitral valve reconstruction for complicated myxomatous disease of the mitral valve, regardless of leaflet involvement, is feasible and offers excellent early and late results.
