Principles: Preoperative • Good preoperative evaluation (TEE) • Preoperative planning of the repair • Understand your mechanism of MR as this invariably dictates the repair and enables avoidance of systolic anterior motion • Objective for Anatomic Restoration 10th Gulf Heart Association, 24th Saudi Heart Association February 13, 2013

Principles: Preoperative • Stay ahead of potential trouble: • Anterior leaflet excess • Posterior leaflet excess • Posterior annular calcification MAC • Septal “Bulge” (Asymmetric Thickening) • Small ventricle, Small annulus • Acute aorto-mitral angle

Anatomic findings may occur together 10th Gulf Heart Association, 24th Saudi Heart Association February 13, 2013

Principles: Operative Principles of reconstructive restoration of coaptation can be performed with simplified methods:

• Triangular Valvuloplasty • Simplified and preferred method for all patients with small isolated prolapse

• Folding Valvuloplasty/Gortex Neochords • May be applied to variety of posterior leaflet prolapse, when chords and annulus intact

• Sliding Valvuloplasty • Severe prolapse, bileaflet disease. Goal to decrease posterior leaflet height 10th Gulf Heart Association, 24th Saudi Heart Association February 13, 2013

ALGORITHM FOR MANAGEMENT OF SAM LVOT gradient <50 and trace to mild MR, attempt Medical Management

LVOT gradient >50 or more than mild MR, attempt medical management but if does not completely resolve = Surgical Correction

Eur J Cardiothoracic Surg 2012;41:1260-70

Medical Management of SAM Stop all inotropic medications Volume expansion

Acute Afterload Increase (digital aortic compression) Beta blockade (Esmolol 1mg/kg)

Summary • SAM is PREDICTABLE and PREVENTABLE – Excess PML, C-Sept < 2.5, Acute A-M Angle

• When anatomic predictors identified: – Reduced PML height, up-sized annuloplasty

• If SAM does occur post repair: – Mild MR, LVOT grad < 50: Medical Management* – Mod MR, LVOT grad > 50: Surgical Management * Must re-evaluate postoperatively 10th Gulf Heart Association, 24th Saudi Heart Association February 13, 2013

Summary • Know your mechanism of MR preoperatively

• Carefully evaluate TEE for leaflet pathology AND potential pitfalls to plan your repair • Upon mitral inspection, re-confirm your mechanism and plan of repair • Focus on tension-free alignment and durable restoration of the zone of coaptation 10th Gulf Heart Association, 24th Saudi Heart Association February 13, 2013
