ABSTRACT

Background:

Left atrial appendages (LAAs) play an important role in regulating left atrial function, and much evidence supports the possibility that changes in left atrial structure may cause or worsen mitral regurgitation. This study intended to investigate the outcomes of patients with mitral regurgitation who underwent left atrial appendage closure (resection or endocardial closure) during isolated surgical ablations.

Methods:

Patients with mild or moderate mitral regurgitation who received isolated surgical ablations for atrial fibrillation (AF) in our center from 2013 to 2022 were referred. During follow-up, each clinical visit was composed of medical interrogation, a 24 h Holter, and echocardiographic evaluation. Death, atrial fibrillation, worsening of mitral regurgitation, and stroke were evaluated as outcomes. Freedom from outcomes whose results were adjusted by inverse probability of treatment weighting for causal effects after acquiring propensity scores.

Results:

A total of 456 patients were enrolled in this study. During a median follow-up of 48 months, 30 deaths and 11 cases of stroke were observed. After adjustments, no significant differences in terms of death or stroke were observed among the three groups. Patients who underwent resection or endocardial closure during surgical ablations had a higher risk of mitral regurgitation worsening during follow-up (p < 0.05). During the whole follow-up, patients who underwent left atrial appendage interventions showed significantly larger left atrial and mitral annular diameters, as well as lower tethering height than those who had left atrial appendage preserved (all p < 0.05).

Conclusions:

Mitral regurgitation was more likely to get worse when patients with fundamental mitral diseases underwent LAA interventions during isolated surgical AF ablations. In the absence of LAA, the dilation of the left atrium and mitral annulus may ultimately lead to worsening of regurgitation.
