Proponents of flexible annuloplasty rings have hypothesized that such devices maintain annular dynamics. This hypothesis is based on the supposition that annular motion is relatively normal in patients undergoing mitral valve repair. We hypothesized that mitral annular dynamics are impaired in ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) and myxomatous mitral regurgitation (MMR). Philips iE33 echocardiographic module and X7-2t probe were used to acquire full volume rt-3DTEE loops in 11 normal subjects, 11 patients with IMR and 11 patients with MMR. Image analysis was performed using Tomtec Image Arena -4D-MV Assessment© - 2.1 (Munich, Germany). A midsystolic frame was selected for the initiation of annular tracking using the semi-automated program. Continuous parameters were normalized in time to provide for uniform systolic and diastolic periods. Both IMR (9.98±155 cm2) and MMR annuli (13.29±3.05 cm2) were larger in area than normal annuli (7.95±1.40 cm2) at midsystole. In general, IMR annuli were less dynamic than controls. In MMR, annular dynamics were also markedly abnormal with the mitral annulus dilating rapidly in early systole in response to rising ventricular pressure. In both IMR and MMR, annular dynamics and anatomy are abnormal. Flexible annuloplasty devices used in mitral valve repair are, therefore, unlikely to result in either normal annular dynamics or normal anatomy.
