About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of complete (preservation of both anterior and posterior leaflets) versus partial (preservation of posterior leaflet only) preservation of subvalvular apparatus in cases of mitral valve replacement

Read the detailed description

After mitral valve replacement (MVR), sudden increases in afterload and disruption of the annular-chordal-papillary-left-ventricular wall causes left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in the early postoperative period.

patients with LV dysfunction after MVR have a significantly lower 8-year survival rate compares with patients who did not have LV dysfunction Papillary muscles play an important role in the left ventricular contraction by drawing the mitral ring toward the apex, thereby causing shortening of the long axis and spherity of the chamber contribute for better ejection of blood.

preservation of papillary muscles and chordae tendineae in MVR reduces postoperative mortality, low cardiac output syndrome and improves haemodynamic function.

Partial preservation of the mitral apparatus through preservation of the posterior leaflet (MVR-P) has been proven to significantly reduce perioperative mortality.

The importance of complete preservation of the mitral apparatus remains controversial, but it is hypothesized that complete preservation with preservation of both the anterior and posterior leaflets may contribute to superior postoperative hemodynamic function as compared to partial preservation.

Due to the increased technical complexity of preserving both leaflets, concerns about longer bypass and cross-clamp times, the need to undersize prostheses, and the possibility of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, the majority of cardiac surgeons currently prefer to preserve the posterior leaflet alone.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate the outcomes of complete versus partial preservation of subvalvular apparatus in mitral valve replacement

    To evaluate the outcomes of complete versus partial preservation of subvalvular apparatus in mitral valve replacement regarding:

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing mitral valve replacement in people with Mitral Valve Replacement and Mitral Insufficiency, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact amr mamdouh amr mamdouh, specialist (+201000566770, amrmamdouh_95@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the outcomes of complete versus partial preservation of subvalvular apparatus in mitral valve replacement (time frame: anticepated 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Feb 2025.
