| Abstrakt: | Background: The aim of this study was to quantify acute mitral valve (MV) geometry dynamic changes throughout the cardiac cycle using three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE) in patients undergoing surgical MV repair (MVR) with ring annuloplasty and optional neochord implantation. Methods: Twenty-nine patients (63 ± 10 years) with severe primary mitral regurgitation underwent surgical MVR using ring annuloplasty with or without neochord implantation. We recorded 3D TEE data throughout the cardiac cycle before and after MVR. Dynamic changes (4D) in the MV annulus geometry and anatomical MV orifice area (AMVOA) were measured using a novel semiautomated software (Auto Valve, Siemens Healthcare). Results: MVR significantly reduces the anteroposterior diameter by up to 38% at end-systole (36.8-22.7 mm; p < 0.001) and the lateromedial diameter by up to 31% (42.7-30.3 mm; p < 0.001). Moreover, the annular circumference was reduced by up to 31% at end-systole (129.6-87.6 mm, p < 0.001), and the annular area was significantly decreased by up to 52% (12.8-5.7 cm 2 ; p < 0.001). Finally, the AMVOA experienced the largest change, decreasing from 1.1 to 0.2 cm 2 during systole (at midsystole; p < 0.001) and from 4.1 to 3.2 cm 2 ( p < 0.001) during diastole. Conclusions: MVR reduces the annular dimension and the AMVOA, contributing to mitral competency, but the use of annuloplasty rings reduces annular contractility after the procedure. Surgeons can use 4D imaging technology to assess MV function dynamically, detecting the acute morphological changes of the mitral annulus and leaflets before and after the procedure.
