Incidence of Mitral Valve Peravalvular Leak • Reported frequency of 1.2-12.5% after mitral valve replacement • Presenting symptoms • 73.3% heart failure • 16.2 % hemolysis • 10.3%no symptoms • Surgical results • 40-60% of peravalvular leaks could be repaired primarily without replacement of valve
Jacobs et al 1994 • 116 mitral valve surgeries (46 MV, 57 MV/CABG, 13 MV/AVR) • 8 patients with MV peravalvular regurgitation • 2/8 moderate • both progressed to severe at 18 months • 6/8 mild: • 2/6 increased from mild to moderate • one with CHF treated medically • other symptom free
Jacobs et al 1994 • Conclusion: • Moderate peravalvular leak should be corrected at time of valve replacement if can be performed without high operative risk. • Mild peravalvular leak should probably also be corrected if low risk and surgeon believes high likelihood of success • Serial follow-up of peravalvular leak is important.
Plehn et al 2001 • Found that people did well with trivial or mild peraprosthetic regurgitation.
Risk factors for MV Peravalvular Leak • Strong • Endocarditis • Annular calcification • Less Strong • Dilated cardiomyopathy. • Ischemic mitral regurgitation
Leak location • Pathologic: • in region of high calcification • in region of endocarditis/abscess • Physiologic stress . • Found occurring more commonly in anterolateral and posteromedial portion of the mitral annulus
Echocardiographers role: • Define risk factors; annular calcium, infection • Search diligently for peravalvular leak post valve replacement. • Define location and severity.
Case #2Mitral Valve Peravalvular Leak • 78 yr old woman presenting with severe Mitral Regurgitation. • 5 years prior, patient declined recommendation for repair. • On following echoes note severe mitral annular calcification. • Surgeon notified of risk of peravalvular leak secondary to calcification.
Post Bypass • Status post placement bioprosthetic mitral valve • Note small peravalvular leak at anterior lateral portion of posterior mitral annulus • Note use of altering Nyquist to define location • Surgeon had optimized number and technique of annular stitches based on prebypass echo exam. Decision to accept surgical result.
