Conventional echocardiographic parameters or three-dimensional echocardiography to evaluate right ventricular function in percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (PMVR).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In this study, we evaluated right ventricular (RV) function before and after percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) using conventional echocardiographic parameters and novel 3DE data sets acquired prior to and directly after the procedure.

Patients and methods

Observational study on 45 patients undergoing PMVR at an university hospital.

Results

In the overall collective, the 3D RV-EF before and after PMVR showed no significant change (p = 0.16). While there was a significant increase of the fractional area change (FAC, from 23 [19-29] % to 28 [24-33] %, p = 0.001), no significant change of the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE, from 17 ± 6 mm to 18 ± 5 mm (standard deviation), p = 0.33) was observed. Regarding patients with a reduced RV-E
