PG - 1379-1386 LID - S0002-9149(18)31414-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.amjcard.2018.06.047 [doi] AB - Pulmonary venous (PV) flow may provide valuable information in terms of the severity of mitral regurgitation and left atrial (LA) pressure. We sought to find PV flow determinants of LA pressure during MitraClip procedure. We analyzed 575 PV flows in 290 patients using transesophageal echocardiography before and after MitraClip procedure. We measured peak systolic velocity (Sv), diastolic velocity (Dv), systolic velocity time integral (Svti), diastolic velocity time integral (Dvti), and those systolic to diastolic ratio as PV flow parameters. Systolic PV flow velocity was lower than diastolic PV flow velocity before the procedure, but systolic PV flow velocity markedly increased after the procedure. Peak Sv/Dv ratio and Svti/Dvti ratio after the procedure were significantly higher than those before the procedure (peak Sv/Dv; 1.06 [inter-quartile range (IQR) 0.73 to 1.34] vs 0.32 [IQR 0.03 to 0.55], p <0.001, Svti/Dvti; 1.06 [IQR 0.76 to 1.61] vs 0.26 [IQR 0.02 to 0.51], p <0.001). Peak Sv/Dv ratio and Svti/Dvti ratio were negatively correlated with mean LA pressure and LA pressure V wave, respectively (peak Sv/Dv ratio; r = -0.50 and r = -0.59, Svti/Dvti ratio; r = -0.47 and r = -0.58, p <0.001). In receiver operating characteristics curve assessing the ability of PV flow to predict mean LA pressure >/=20 mm Hg after the successful procedure, the area under the curve of peak Sv/Dv ratio was 0.76 (p <0.001). Peak Sv/Dv ratio <0.98 best predicted LA pressure >/=20 mm Hg with 77% sensitivity and 71% specificity. In conclusion, systolic PV flow velocity immediately increased in response to mitral regurgitation reduction during MitraClip procedure. PV flow velocity, specifically systolic to diastolic ratio, was useful to evaluate invasively determined LA pressure. CI - Copyright (c) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
