Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The present study aims to elucidate the histopathological characteristics of myocardial tissue, including fibrosis, using left atrial and left ventricular biopsy specimens obtained during mitral valve repair in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR). Furthermore, it seeks to investigate how these histological findings are associated with postoperative left ventricular function and clinical outcomes such as the maintenance of sinus rhythm. In addition, by examining the correlation between computed tomography-derived extracellular volume fraction (CT-ECV), a noninvasive imaging modality, and histological markers of myocardial fibrosis, this study aims to clarify the clinical utility of CT-ECV.

Basic objectives -Others

In this study, we will investigate the association between histopathological findings of intraoperatively obtained myocardial biopsy specimens and postoperative left ventricular reverse remodeling in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) undergoing mitral valve repair.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Presence of Left Ventricular Reverse Remodeling
Left ventricular reverse remodeling will be defined as a reduction of more than 15% in the left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVi) on transthoracic echocardiography performed postoperatively compared with the preoperative value.

Key secondary outcomes

Correlation Between CT-ECV and Histological CVF and ECV
The correlation between preoperative CT-derived extracellular volume fraction (CT-ECV) and histological collagen volume fraction (CVF) as well as histological ECV, both semi-quantitatively calculated from Masson-Trichrome-stained myocardial biopsy specimens using image analysis software, will be evaluated. In addition, the anatomical consistency between the measurement regions of CT-ECV and the corresponding biopsy sites will be examined.

Key inclusion criteria

1) Patients enrolled on or after the initiation date of the present study in the existing observational cohort study entitled "A Cohort Study on the Association Between Preoperative Cardiac CT-Derived Extracellular Volume Fraction and Postoperative Left Ventricular Reverse Remodeling in Patients with Primary Mitral Regurgitation" (March 1, 2024-March 31, 2029).

2) Patients who have received a thorough explanation of this study and have provided written informed consent.

Key exclusion criteria
