ABSTRACT
Objectives To evaluate the mechanism of mitral regurgitation after mitral valve surgery by quantitative assessment of mitral valve three-dimensional parameters using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE). Me-thods According to the improved degree of mitral regurgitation (MR), 30 children were divided into two groups after mitral valve repairMR improved (I) group and residual MR (II) group. And the pre-operative 3-DE parameters were compared with post-operative parameters in two groups respectively. Results In group I, three dimensional parameters, including mitral valve annular area in end-systole and end-dilate (AA1, AA2), PM papillary muscle annular distance (AL-A), AL papillary muscle annular distance (PM-A), inter-papillary distance (PM-AL), the anterior leaflet and posterior leaflet tethering angles (a1, a2, argAL-C-PM), left ventricular volume end-systole and end-dilate (LVEDV, LVESV) were significantly improved after surgery (P0.05). Conclusions Most of the mitral valve parameters were much better in group I after surgery. However, the malformation of papillary appa-ratus, leaflet tethering strength and left ventricular function were unchanged in group II, which may be the key mechanism of mitral regurgitation after surgery.
