BACKGROUND:The aim of this study is to report the preliminary real-word clinical and hemodynamic performance from the MANTRA study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05002543) in patients undergoing minimally invasive mitral valve repair (MI-MVr) with a new generation semi-rigid ring.
METHODS:MANTRA is an ongoing “umbrella” prospective, multi-center, international post-market study to collect real-life safety and performance data on Corcym devices (Corcym S.r.l, Saluggia, Italy). Clinical and echocardiographic outcomes were collected preoperatively, at discharge and at each follow-up. KCCQ-12 questionnaires were collected preoperatively and at 30-days. Echocardiographic studies were assessed by an independent core-lab.
RESULTS:Between July 2021 and October 2023, among the 170 subjects undergoing MVr with Corcym semi-rigid ring, 97 underwent MI-MVr in 12 International institutions through mini-thoracotomy approach. The mean age at surgery was 59.1±11.9 years with a mean EuroSCORE II of 1.3±1.3. Primary mitral regurgitation was the most common etiology (73, 75.35%), followed by Barlow’s (17, 17.5%), secondary mitral regurgitation (4, 4.1%) and other etiology (3, 3.1%). Operative and postoperative outcomes are reported in Table 1. Most surgeries were done via direct visualization (42, 43.3%), video assisted in 30 cases (30.9%), and fully endoscopic in 25 subjects (25.8%). Concomitant tricuspid valve repair was performed in 14 subjects (14.4%), atrial septal repair in 10 cases (10.3%), and atrial fibrillation treatment in 21 cases (21.6%). Thirty-day mortality was 0.0%, and only two reoperations were reported within 30 days (2.1%).Surgery resulted in a marked improvement in patients’ NYHA class, associated with a clinically significant increase in KCCQ-12 summary score (from 70.6±24.3 preoperatively to 83.1±16.5 at 30-day, p<0.0001). End-diastolic left ventricular diameters decreased from 55.06±6.86 preoperatively to 50.13±6.57 mm at 30-day follow-up, and left atrial volume decreased from 130.96±50.04 preoperatively to 89.32±39.65 ml at 30days. Mitral regurgitation decreased significantly after the operation and up to 30-day follow-up. CONCLUSIONS:In this prospective multicenter study, MI-MVr with the new generation semi-rigid ring confirmed to be safe and effective, providing good clinical outcomes, moderate-to-large improvement of the patient’s Quality of Life at 30days, and good early hemodynamic performance with optimal reduction of the severity of MR and preservation of the left ventricular function.
