bility, lower rates of thromboembolism, resistance to endocarditis, and does not require anticoagula­tion therapy in most patients [2]. Techniques and concepts regarding MV repair are continually evolving and range from simple to comprehen­sive. Simple repairs may only involve placement of an annular ring to support the valve while complicated repairs involve both the anterior and posterior leaet, as well as the chordae. The goal of the repair is to re-establish the integrity of the valve, improve coaptation of the leaets, and decrease annulus size if dilation exists.
In the operating room, MV repairs are imme­diately assessed by a certied advanced imaging physician via TEE. If the MV repair is inade­quate, immediate MV replacement should be considered while still in the OR.
Mitral valve replacement is warranted when the leaets are not salvageable due to presence of calcication, perforation, infection, or the pres­ence of rheumatic disease. If repair is attempted in rheumatic disease, the risk of reoperation is 50–60% of patients within 20years [1].
Surgical Management ofMitral Regurgitation
The timing of surgical intervention for MR depends on the acuity of the MR (acute vs chronic) and the cause of the MR (primary vs secondary). Mortality rates for primary MR decrease with early surgical intervention before symptoms and LV systolic dysfunction (LVEF 60% or ESD  40 mm) occur [1]. Once a patient develops symptoms and LVEF 60, the prognosis is poor [1]. This was conrmed by a recent data analysis completed by the STS dem­onstrating reduced survival associated with late referral for surgical intervention [3]. Close moni­toring of MR progression with imaging surveil­lance, despite presence of symptoms, is vital in planning surgery before LV dysfunction deterio­rates [1].
In MR, surgical correction can be accom­plished by either mitral valve repair (MVr) or mitral valve replacement (MVR). Mitral valve repair is preferred over mitral valve replacement and should be attempted if leaets are salvage­able. Valve repair is shown to have superior dura-
Surgical Intervention forChronic Primary MR
The timing of surgery depends on the severity of the disease and LV function. Unlike surgical treat­ment of the aortic valve or mitral stenosis, the lack of symptoms should not delay the timing of inter­vention for primary MR.In mitral valve prolapse affecting only half of the posterior leaet, mitral valve repair is the gold standard of care with out­comes superior to both biological and mechanical valve replacement [1]. Studies demonstrate that patients who undergo mitral valve repair for pri­mary MR have a life expectancy equal to that of the general population after surgery, regardless of age [4]. When mitral valve repair is successful, operative mortality rate is <1%, with 95% free­dom from reoperation and 80% freedom from recurrent moderate or severe MR at 15–20years postoperatively [1]. In accordance with the ACC/ AHA guidelines, if severe primary MR is isolated to less than half of the posterior leaet and only simple repair to the posterior leaet is necessary, MV replacement is considered harmful and

should not be completed unless MV repair has been attempted and failed [1].
Surgical Intervention forChronic Secondary MR
In chronic secondary MR, the role of surgical intervention is controversial. MR is multifactorial and restoration of MV competence does not miti­gate the underlying cardiac pathology. Although it has not been shown to directly improve survival, surgical intervention has been shown to improve functional outcomes and reduce symptoms [5].
According to the ACC/AHA guidelines, MV surgery for chronic secondary MR is warranted: [1]
• In the presence of severe symptoms when the
valve is not favorable to TEER.
• When patient is undergoing CABG with
severe MR and LV dysfunction secondary to
CAD.
• When severe MR is isolated from annular
dilation related to atrial brillation, MV sur-
gery with MAZE procedure may be
reasonable.
Risk stratication for MV repair and MV replacement can be calculated on the STS web­site. Refer to Chap. 6 for further discussion and Table 6.3 for a list of categories assessed with the risk calculator.
Surgical Approach andValve Selection
As discussed above, MV repair is preferred to MV replacement in the setting of MR.Surgical approach begins with visual assessment of the mitral valve apparatus to determine if repair is feasible. Figure17.5 depicts visualization of the mitral valve via the left atrium during surgery. This mitral valve has a ail posterior leaet resulting in severe MR.
With surgical intervention of chronic second­ary MR, MV replacement should be considered in cases with ischemic or dilated cardiomyopa­thy. The durability of a mitral repair depends on the regression of the underlying dilation, and if the dilation progresses postoperatively, the repair will not be durable and survival is limited [1].
Preoperative Assessment andCalculating Risk
As with other cardiac surgeries, a detailed history, physical, and a myriad of diagnostic testing is com­pleted to determine patient’s baseline status and operative risk. A cardiac catheterization should be completed to assess for any coronary artery disease that may need to be addressed during the operation. A thorough dental history should also be obtained to rule out a disease process which may put patient at increased risk for developing endocarditis post­operatively. Refer to previous chapters regarding preoperative assessment for further discussion and Tables 6.1 and 6.2 in Chap. 6.

With MV repairs, an annuloplasty ring is always placed to support the annulus and provide structure, regardless of the type or complexity of repair. Sutures are rst placed along the annulus (Fig.17.6) and then the annuloplasty ring is para­chuted down into the correct position (Fig.17.7). Once the repair is complete, the valve is assessed intra-operatively for residual valvular leak prior to closure. Successful mitral valve repair with

competent valvular coaptation is demonstrated in Fig.17.8.
If the mitral valve is unable to be repaired and replacement is necessary, the type of prosthesis needs to be addressed. This discussion must be completed with the patient preoperatively, even if a MV repair is planned. Refer to the chapters on valve selection under surgical management of aortic valve disease for further discussion.
Mitral Stenosis
The etiology of mitral stenosis is most commonly rheumatic or degenerative (Table 17.3). Rheumatic fever is the leading cause of mitral valve disease worldwide and rheumatic MS is more common in women (80% case) compared to men [1]. Clinical presentation can vary, and patients may present earlier in life, even in their teens. Patients presenting at a younger age, often have commissural fusion but pliable, noncalci­ed mitral valve leaets [1]. Patients presenting later in life more commonly have calcied brotic mitral leaets in addition to commissural fusion and subvalvular involvement [1]. Degenerative mitral stenosis is seen in elderly patients with signicant mitral annular calcication.
The normal mitral valve orice is 4–6cm2 and when the mitral orice is <2 cm2 the left atrial pressure rises to generate blood ow across the narrowed orice into the LV.To compensate for increased left atrial pressure, both pulmonary

venous and arterial wedge pressures rise, which contributes to exertional dyspnea. Untreated, longstanding MS causes passive backward trans­mission of the elevated left atrial pressure trig­gering pulmonary arterial constriction, resulting in pulmonary changes and subsequent pulmonary hypertension, RV enlargement with tricuspid regurgitation, and right heart failure [1]. In patients with severe MS, cardiac output is near normal at rest but fails to rise substantially with exertion.
Patients with mitral stenosis are at increased risk of developing atrial brillation and thrombi in the left atrium (valvular atrial brillation).
Symptoms
The most common presenting symptom is exer­tional dyspnea or cough, followed by exercise intolerance. Patients may also present with symp­toms of right heart failure. Symptoms from MS
are exacerbated by physical exertion, tachycar­dia, volume shifts, fever, severe anemia, preg­nancy, and thyrotoxicosis.
Physical Exam/Cardiac Studies

ECG. If there is left atrial enlargement, it may be reected by the p wave. In patients with pul­monary hypertensions, the ECG may show right axis deviation and RV hypertrophy [6].
Echocardiogram. TTE is used to evaluate mitral leaets along with extent of valvular calci­cation into the mitral apparatus, the transvalvu­lar gradient, degree of chamber enlargement and function, concomitant tricuspid valve disease, and pulmonary pressures. TEE may be used to obtain superior images of the mitral valve for planning of intervention (see Fig.17.9).

Mitral Stenosis Management
Patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis and valvu­lar atrial brillation, prior embolic event, or LAA thrombus should be initiated on warfarin (INR goal 2–3). There is no evidence to support DOACs in atrial brillation secondary to MS. Control or low­ering of heart rate with beta blockers or calcium channel blockers are useful as it lengthens the dia­stolic lling period, lowers the LA pressure, and decreases symptoms. Cardioversion may be per­formed but does not durably restore sinus rhythm. Amiodarone is most effective in maintaining sinus rhythm post cardioversion [7]. Diuretics, digoxin, and ivabradine may also help improve symptoms.
Patients with clinically signicant rheumatic MS (mitral valve area ≤ 1.5 cm2 and diastolic mitral gradient 5–10 mmHg) should be fol­lowed annually with TTE.TTE helps determine the severity of stenosis and when severe MS is present will help determine the suitability for Percutaneous Mitral Balloon Commissurotomy
Fig. 17.10 Yellow arrow shows a markedly enlarged left atrial appendage (LAA) with the organized thrombus on CT imaging. DOACs are contraindicated for treatment of thrombus associated with mitral stenosis
(PMBC) versus surgery. TEE will further evalu­ate the mitral valve anatomy, presence of MR, and left atrial appendage thrombus (Fig.17.10).
Degenerative, Nonrheumatic CalcicMS
Calcic MS is the result of calcication of the mitral annulus that extends into the leaets bases resulting in narrowing of the annulus and progressive leaet

rigidity [1, 8]. There is usually no commissural fusion and typically the leaet tips are unaffected [1, 8]. Degenerative MS is usually observed in the elderly population and progression of MS is vari­able and may range from 1 to 9 mmHg annually (Fig.17.9). The prognosis for patients with this type of MS is extremely poor with a 50% mortality within 5 years [1]. These patients are typically at high risk for any intervention given the extent of calcication, advanced age, and comorbidities.
Medical management is the same as for rheu­matic MS.Degenerative MS is not amenable to PMBC and severe mitral annular calcication (MAC) limits surgical options given the difculty in attaching a prosthetic mitral valve and risk of narrowing the mitral orice. MV repair is usually not feasible and MV replacement is the treatment of choice. Due to the risk, current guidelines rec­ommend surgical intervention only once the MS becomes severe, patient become extremely symp­tomatic, and medical therapy is no longer effec­tive [1]. The evaluation of transcatheter therapies (TMVR) in the mitral position is ongoing. A mul­tidisciplinary team approach is essential in these complex patients.
Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis Intervention
The optimal treatment of patients with rheumatic MS is either percutaneously mitral balloon com­missurotomy (PMBC) or surgery (Fig.7in 2020 AHA/ACC Valve Guidelines [1]). PMBC is per­formed by advancing balloon catheters across the mitral valve and expanding them to split the mitral commissures. Long-term follow-up dem­onstrated that at 10 years 70–80% of patients with a good initial PMBC result were free of symptoms, and 30–40% remained free of symp-

toms out to 20years [9]. In symptomatic patients with severe rheumatic MS (valve area≤1.5cm2), < 2+ moderate MR, and absence of LA thrombus, PMBC is recommended [9]. Contraindications to PMBC are listed in Table17.5.
An anatomic mitral morphology score can be used to determine the suitability of PMBC and to evaluate the appearance of the commissures and degree of calcication. Clinical factors such as age, NHYA class, presence/absence of atrial brillation, and Wilkins score assist in predicting outcome.
The Wilkins score uses echocardiographic param- eters to grade rheumatic MS for possible PMBV using characteristics of (1) leaet mobility, (2) leaet thickening, (3) leaet calcication, and (4) sub val­vular thickening. Each characteristic can have four points if the disease is more severe for a maximum of 16. A score of <8–9 are considered candidates for PMBV depending on degree of mitral insufciency and a score of >9–10, especially with moderate MR should be considered for surgery.
Mitral valve repair or replacement are both utilized in the surgical treatment of MS.The sur­gical approach to MS depends on the pathology of the disease, the involvement of the valve leaf­lets, and the extent of calcication present. As stated above, PMBC is the rst-line therapy for Rheumatic MS unless contraindicated. According to the ACC/AHA, MV surgery for rheumatic MS is warranted in the following patients [1]:
• Severe MS (mitral valve area1.8cm2),
• MS with severe limiting symptoms,
• Who are not a candidate for PMBC given
unfavorable valve morphology or presence of
left atrial thrombus,
• Previous failure of PMBC, and
• Already undergoing cardiac surgery for
another reason.
Like PMBC, the preferred approach to surgical management is mitral valve repair with commis­surotomy. During surgical commissurotomy, a sternotomy is completed, the heart is placed on car­diopulmonary bypass, and under direct visualiza­tion the ssure between the mitral leaets is separated. This technique is not routinely per­formed by surgeons in the United States and should
176

only be completed at experienced centers [1]. If neither a PMBC repair nor open commissurotomy can be completed, then a mitral valve replacement may be considered in rheumatic stenosis.
As with other cardiac surgeries, a detailed his­tory, physical, and a myriad of diagnostic testing are completed to determine patient’s baseline sta­tus and operative risk. As with any valve surgery, a thorough dental history should be obtained to rule out a disease process which may put patient at risk for endocarditis postoperatively. Risk stratication for MV repair and MV replacement can be calculated on the STS website. Refer to Chap. 6, Table 6.3 for a list of categories assessed with the risk calculator.
Mitral Valve Selection
Provider and patient must jointly decide between a bioprosthetic and mechanical valve conduit in case a valve replacement is warranted. This decision is multifactorial and is based on patient age, life expectancy, medical compliance, and ability to tol­erate long-term systemic anticoagulation. Refer to the section on valve selection under surgical man­agement of aortic stenosis for further discussion.
The ACC/AHA guidelines for mitral valve replacement recommend mechanical valves in patients <65 years old and tissue valves in patients 65years old [1]. A mechanical valve in the mitral position for mitral stenosis has the highest long-term embolic risk and requires strict therapeutic INR levels postoperatively. Refer to Figs. 11 and 12 for the 2020 AHA/ACC Valve

Tricuspid Insuciency/ Regurgitation (TI/TR)
Etiology
TR is categorized as primary or secondary. Secondary is more common, occurring in >90% of patients with TR (Table18.1). At least 70% of adults have some degree of TR [1]. Most primary TR is related to implantable devices. Functional TR is secondary to dilation of the RA/RV annu­lus with leaet tethering and is associated with pulmonary hypertension, atrial brillation, car­diomyopathy, and mitral disease. Functional TR is associated with pulmonary hypertension, RV dilation, RV infarction, or cardiomyopathy. Importantly, TR is an independent predictor of mortality.
In early TR, right atrial dilation occurs, result­ing in annular dilatation. This process causes reduction in leaet coaptation and with progres­sion of TR, adaptive RV dilation occurs with RV

remodeling to maintain cardiac output [2]. This cycle progresses until clinical signs of right heart failure develop (see Chap. 22). Severe, refractory TR is associated with hepatic and renal failure due to venous hypertension.
Symptoms
Symptoms of TR are due to two pathologic mechanisms: pulmonary congestion and central venous congestion. Patients develop fatigue, exertional dyspnea, and also symptoms associ­ated with right heart failure including orthopnea, abdominal bloating or right upper abdominal dis­comfort, PND, and peripheral edema.
Physical exam findings with TR include
systolic murmur that increases in intensity

with inspiration, prominent JVD, peripheral edema, hepatomegaly, ascites, and a third heart sound that also increases with inspira­tion (RV S3).
Evaluation
ECG. Usually non-diagnostic, although may see signs of RA or RV enlargement, bizarre RBBB pattern, evidence of prior inferior MI, or atrial brillation [3].
Imaging. The etiology and severity of TR are assessed by TTE (Fig. 18.1). When indicated, TEE, MRI, or CT scan may be used to provide additional information about the tricuspid valve and RV function. Particular attention should be paid to TR grade/regurgitant jet, valve morphol­ogy (annular dimension, leaet coaptation/tether­ing), enlargement of RA/RV/IVC to properly stage TR, pulmonary systolic pressure, and degree of hepatic vein reversal [4].
Trace to mild degrees of TR are commonly detected on TTE in patients with normal valves and are of no physiological consequence [3].
Management
Medical therapy is limited and attention should be focused on reversing any underlying causes of TR. Management of heart failure is the rst approach to management of TR, with the use of diuretics to treat volume overload and medical therapy for patients who have pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), particularly WHO type II (see Chap. 22). Patient with volume overload and hepatic congestion are more responsive to torse­mide over furosemide. Use of loop diuretics can be limited as RV function worsens or in those with low output syndrome. Patients with reduced LVEF contributing to TR should be initiated on GDMT to ofoad the LV.In patients with TR sec­ondary to annular dilation from atrial brillation

it is benecial to restore sinus rhythm. There are limited options for patients who have advanced TR with end-stage heart failure and low cardiac output [3, 4].
Timing of intervention upon the tricuspid valve is tricky as the disease can progress quickly, is often associated with concomitant pulmonary hypertension or permanent atrial brillation, and also a poor prognosis.
Surgical treatment is performed for select patients with valvular disease. Surgical interven­tion should be completed with the presence of moderate to severe TR at the time of a left-sided valve operation. Once the left-sided valve lesion is corrected and there is reduction of the right ventricular afterload, TR may not improve. If the TV is not intervened upon at the time of the left­sided valve surgery, there is a 25% chance that there is progression of the TR if certain risk fac­tors are present [3]. These risk factors include dilated annulus >4.0 cm, history of right-sided HF, and atrial brillation [3]. If the TR is not cor­rected at the time of the initial operation, and does not improve postoperatively, reoperation for severe isolated TR is associated with a periopera­tive mortality of 10–25% [3]. Even in cases where only mild to moderate secondary TR exists, tricuspid valve (TV) intervention should still be considered.
Transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions are emerging as an alternative for highly symptom­atic patients who are felt to be too high risk for conventional open-heart surgery and research is ongoing in determining effectiveness. There are currently no guidelines addressing transcatheter tricuspid valve therapies. Novel transcatheter therapies are evolving and include “leaetplasty” with clip therapy, valve replacement, percutane­ous repair, and annuloplasty.
the primary cause for TR stems from left-sided heart disease, the number one indication for sur­gical intervention is the presence of severe TR at the time of a left- sided valve operation [3]. When possible, a repair should be attempted prior to replacement. Repairs are preferred to replace­ment in TR as they do not require long-term anti­coagulation, have greater durability, and are resistant to endocarditis. Repair of the tricuspid valve usually only requires an annuloplasty ring or band to decrease annular dilation, create sup­port, and improve coaptation of the leaets. A TVr with an annuloplasty ring is demonstrated in Fig.18.2.
Replacement of the tricuspid valve is reason­able when the valve is unrepairable or in select secondary forms of TR.Valves should undergo replacement when the TR is a primary defect in the valve leaet such as with injury from device leads, endocardial biopsy, trauma, or in infec­tious endocarditis. TV replacement should also be completed if a TV repair has failed. A TVR with a bioprosthetic valve is demonstrated in Fig.18.3 Guidelines for surgical intervention of TR are outlined in Fig.10in the 2020 AHA/ACC Valve Guidelines [3].
Isolated TR intervention is rare and periopera­tive mortality risk is considered high. Intervention is more dependent on the presence of right-sided heart failure, progressive RV dilation, and dys­function. According to the ACC/AHA guidelines, isolated TV surgery is considered reasonable in
Surgical Management ofTricuspid Regurgitation
Surgical treatment of moderate to severe TR can be accomplished by either tricuspid valve repair (TVr) or tricuspid valve replacement (TVR). As
