Abstract
Objective: Annuloplasty is the most common strategy for repair of functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) but is not effective in patients with massive/torrential FTR or leaflet tethering. To address the deficits of tricuspid annuloplasty, TRicuspid Anterior and Posterior Patch (TRAPP) repair was developed, which is a pericardial patch augmentation of the anterior and posterior leaflets.
Methods: To test this repair, a previously validated ex vivo model in an explanted porcine heart was used, wherein annular and leaflet geometry were evaluated using a 3-dimensional structured light scanner at 4 time points: (1) baseline, (2) induction of FTR, (3) annuloplasty repair, and (4) patch repair.
Results: Compared with the regurgitant tricuspid valve, annuloplasty reduced annular circumference (13.7 to 9.5 cm) and area (13.7 vs 6.1 cm2), whereas TRAPP repair did not alter annular dimensions (circumference: 13.7 vs 13.5 cm; area: 13.7 vs 13.6 cm2). Annuloplasty increased leaflet tenting angles (anterior: 53.5° vs 41.0°; posterior: 59.7° vs 48.2°; septal: 38.9° vs 31.4°) whereas TRAPP repair relieved anterior and posterior leaflet tenting (anterior: 28.9° vs 41.0°; posterior: 34.9° vs 48.2°; septal: 33.2° vs 31.4°) and restored geometry comparable to the native tricuspid valve. Central coaptation lengths were greater with TRAPP repair than with annuloplasty for all 3 leaflets (anterior: 12.7 vs 9.5 mm; posterior: 12.2 vs 8.2 mm; septal: 7.4 vs 4.6 mm).
Conclusions: Compared with annuloplasty, TRAPP repair yielded greater coaptation length, resolved leaflet tethering, and resulted in a larger annular area that may facilitate durable repair of advanced FTR, which previously would have required replacement.
目的:瓣环成形术是修复功能性三尖瓣反流(FTR)最常用的方法,但对大面积/侵入性 FTR 或瓣叶拴住的患者无效。为了解决三尖瓣瓣环成形术的缺陷,开发了三尖瓣前后补片(TRAPP)修复术,即心包补片增强前后瓣叶:为了测试这种修补方法,我们使用了之前验证过的猪心体外模型,在 4 个时间点使用三维结构光扫描仪评估了瓣环和瓣叶的几何形状:(1)基线;(2)诱导 FTR;(3)瓣环成形术修补;(4)补片修补:结果:与反流性三尖瓣相比,瓣环成形术缩小了瓣环周长(13.7 至 9.5 厘米)和面积(13.7 vs 6.1 平方厘米),而 TRAPP 修复术没有改变瓣环尺寸(周长:13.7 vs 13.5 厘米;面积:13.7 vs 13.6 平方厘米)。瓣环成形术增加了瓣叶折角(前:53.5° vs 41.0°;后:59.7° vs 48.2°;室间隔:38.9° vs 31.4°),而 TRAPP 修复术缓解了前后瓣叶折角(前:28.9° vs 41.0°;后:34.9° vs 48.2°;室间隔:33.2° vs 31.4°),并恢复了与原生三尖瓣相似的几何形状。与瓣环成形术相比,TRAPP修复术后所有3个瓣叶的中心瓣合长度都更大(前瓣:12.7 mm vs 9.5 mm;后瓣:12.2 mm vs 8.2 mm;隔瓣:7.4 mm vs 4.6 mm):与瓣环成形术相比,TRAPP修复术可获得更大的合流长度,解决了瓣叶系带问题,并可获得更大的瓣环面积,这可能有助于晚期FTR的持久修复,而在此之前则需要进行置换。
