Transcatheter mitral valve repair devices - in vitro studies on the influence of device-width on mitral regurgitation
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most prevalent valvulopathy in the USA and the second most prevalent valvulopathy in Europe. Despite excellent clinical results of surgical mitral valve repair (SMVR), transcatheter-based mitral valve repair (MVR) procedures emerged as a feasible treatment option for...

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most prevalent valvulopathy in the USA and the second most prevalent valvulopathy in Europe. Despite excellent clinical results of surgical mitral valve repair (SMVR), transcatheter-based mitral valve repair (MVR) procedures emerged as a feasible treatment option for surgically inoperable or high-risk patients suffering from clinically relevant MR. The current study investigates the impact of device-induced coaptationwidth on the hydrodynamic performance of insufficient mitral valves (MV) during left ventricular (LV) systole. A non-calcified, pathological MV model (MVM) featuring a D-shaped MV annulus with an area of 7.6 cm2 and a flail gap in the A2-P2 region was employed in an experimental setup. Pressure gradient-volumetric flow rate (Δp-Q) relations were investigated for steady-state backward flow with transvalvular pressure gradients ranging from (0.75 ≤ Δp ≤ 177.36) mmHg. Glycerol-water mixture (36 % (v/v) glycerol in water) at 37 °C with a density of (1 098.2 ± 1.3) kg·m-3 and a dynamic viscosity of 3.5 mPa∙s was used as circulatory fluid. In order to determine the impact of the width of transcatheter MVR devices during LV-systole Δp-Q relations were investigated for three MVM-configurations: (i) MVM without MVR device, (ii) MVM with one MVR device and (iii) MVM with two MVR devices implanted in the A2-P2 region. The MVR devices were manufactured from steel sheets with a thickness of 0.2 mm and feature arm lengths of 9.0 mm and a width of 5.0 mm. The conducted investigations show that the implantation of MVR devices in the A2-P2 region prevents the manifestation of an A2-P2 flail gap and thereby effectively reduces the retrograde blood flow during the LV-systole by 13 % with one MVR device and 27 % with two MVR devices implanted. Thus, the application of two MVR devices with a combined device-induced width of 10 mm results in a better MR reduction than the implantation of one MVR device with a device-induced width of 5 mm. |
