Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Degeneration of mitral prostheses/rings may be treated by redo surgery, and, recently, by transcatheter valve-in-valve/ring implantation. This multicenter registry presents results of transcatheter valve-in-valve and repeat surgery for prostheses/rings degeneration.

METHODS: Data provided by 10 German heart centers underwent propensity score-matched retrospective analysis. The primary endpoint was 30-day/midterm mortality. Perioperative outcome was assessed according to the Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium criteria. Further, the influence of moderate or greater tricuspid regurgitation (TR) on 30-day/midterm mortality was analyzed.

RESULTS: Between 2014 and 2019, 273 patients (79 transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve [TM-ViV] and 194 redo mitral valve replacement [Re-MVR]) underwent repeat procedure for mitral prosthesis/ring degeneration. Propensity score matching distinguished 79 patient pairs. European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II-predicted risk was 15.7 ± 13.7% in the TM-ViV group and 15.0% ± 12.7% in the Re-MVR group (P = .5336). TM-ViV patients were older (74.73 vs 72.2 years; P = .0030) and had higher incidence of atrial fibrillation (54 vs 40 patients; P = .0233). Severe TR incidence was similar (17.95% in TM-ViV vs 14.10%; P = .1741). Sixty-eight TM-ViV patients previously underwent mitral valve replacement, whereas 41 Re-MVR patients underwent valve repair (P < .0001). Stenosis was the leading degeneration mechanism in 42 TM-ViV versus 22 Re-MVR patients (P < .0005). The 30-day/midterm mortality did not differ between groups. Moderate or greater TR was a predictor of total (odds ratio [OR], 4.36; P = .0011), 30-day (OR, 3.76; P = .0180), and midterm mortality (OR, 4.30; P = .0378), irrespective of group.

CONCLUSIONS: In both groups, observed mortality was less than predicted. Redo surgery enabled treatment of concomitant conditions, such as atrial fibrillation or TR. TR was shown to be a predictor of total, 30-day, and midterm mortality in both groups.
