reported that concomitant CABG and AVR is
associated with poor QoL, precipitating higher
mortality rates compared to sole AVR, however,
on regression analysis—CABG alone was not
signicantly responsible for this increase [26].
This was further challenged by Markou and colleagues who reported in their prospective study
of 215 concomitant (CABG+AVR) and 200 isolated valve that patients undergoing combined
surgery exhibited greater benet from their surgery than their counterpart.
Ejection Fraction, NYHA andLV
function
Three studies pre-selected ejection fraction, LV
function and NHYA class to evaluate any
improvement in QoL post-surgery. Work by
Goldsmith et al. (2001) revealed signicant
improvement in QoL following mitral valve
repair but noted impaired LV function or endsystolic dimension is less likely to aid improvement in QoL. Likewise he presented higher
NYHA functional score being independent predictor of low improvement in QoL and general
health status post mitral valve surgery. Conversely
Zhao etal. [27] reported signicant improvement
in NYHA class and health status for mitral repair
patients.
Other Determinants ofQuality
ofLife
Type ofProsthesis
Prosthesis type was reported as another important indicator of QoL post-operatively. Some
studies have pointed out that even though surgery
improves QoL, certain prosthesis result in better
gains than others. One example is the research
done by Florath etal. (2005) who have concluded
that elderly patients receiving a stentless bioprosthetic aortic valve had a greater gain in the
emotional QoL component due to the avoidance
of warfarin [28]. This point was further supported
by Zacek et al. [29] who stated QoL postoperatively is inuenced by the specic type of
aortic valve and greater quality of life and freedom is preserved by procedures that avoid lifelong anticoagulation.
On the other hand Vicchio et al. [30] found
that while survival in selected octogenarians was
similar to the general elderly population, quality
of life was not inuence by the type of aortic

valve used—that is to say, there was no difference in quality of life between patients with bioprosthetic or mechanical valves.
Type ofSurgery
QoL following mitral valve surgery has been a
closely followed topic. Much of the literature
suggests that patients undergoing mitral repair
experiencing a greater QoL improvement
whereas mitral valve replacement yield inferior
QoL gains [31]. Interestingly, Jokinen et al.
(2007) assert that their research indicated quality- of life post-operatively was not signicantly
different between mitral valve replacement or
repair, whereas survival was longer after mitral
valve replacement as compared to repair.
Furthermore, when compared to an age- and sexmatched population, scores around energy and
mobility were lower. Juxtaposed to this, Maisano
et al. [23] found that quality of life following
mitral valve surgery is suboptimal in almost half
of all elderly patients, particularly those with
residual mitral regurgitation.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation
(TAVI) has been used for over a decade as a less
invasive option for those who cannot undergo
SAVR due to high risk of surgical complications.
Following continuous advancements in TAVI
technology with the aim of reducing complications, the use of TAVI has been extended to
patients for whom SAVR is considered suitable
but poses a high risk and also intermediate and
lower risk patient populations, including younger
patients with fewer comorbidities [45].
The all-cause mortality up to 5 years of follow- up did not differ signicantly between TAVI
and SAVR in patients surgically operable at a
high risk, but favoured TAVI over medical therapy in patients surgically inoperable. Although
TAVI was non-inferior to SAVR inpatients surgically operable at a high risk, shorter term benets
were observed for those patients undergoing
TAVI regarding QoL, NYHA classication, overall incidence and severity of prosthesis-patient
mismatch and lower incidence of acute kidney
injury [45–47].
QoL after MVr and MVR improves.
Improvement in QoL after surgery was seen in
elderly group, asymptomatic and ischaemic
mitral regurgitation patient. Though not conclusive, MVr showed more improvement in QoL
especially over the rst year. The use of robotic
or mini mitral approach also confers benets to
post operative QoL [59–61, 64].
Incision Factor
The impact of full sternotomy on patient’s postoperative quality of life and the perceived benet
of minimally invasive approach were investigated
by Detter and colleagues [32] in their study of
140 patients that were separated equally to their
respective cohort (minimal vs. conventional)
group, and with a mean age 64.3 years and
34months follow-up.
Interestingly they presented the absence of
any signicant difference between the two groups
in any of the 8 domains of the quality of life tool
used (SF 36). Furthermore, they reported patient’s
satisfaction and scar judgement after the operation was not inuence by the incision style. None
the less their study has few limitations and to
begin with their postop follow-up was not done at
3 months or at 12 months, hence they haven’t
reported early mobilisation or the stability of the
sternum at any given point. Similarly, their post op complication list didn’t not account for surgical site infection on which case if considered and
reported it may have inuence the patient’s satisfaction and quality of life results [32].
There was uncertainty on mortality or extracorporeal support times with upper hemisternotomy for aortic valve replacement
compared to full median sternotomy. The evidence to support a reduction in total hospital
length of stay or intensive care stay was low in
quality. There was also uncertainty of any difference in the rates of other, secondary outcome
measures or adverse events (blood loss, deep
sternal wound infection, pain scores, QoL(SF-36),
post-op AF, re-exploration) with minimally invasive limited sternotomy approaches to aortic
valve replacement [54–58, 68].

10 The Impact ofValve Surgery ontheHealth-Related Quality ofLife ofElderly Patients: Systematic Review
207
Limitation
In conducting this review, multiple limitations
must be acknowledged. While some of the studies reviewed were prospective in nature, many
were retrospective (see table of studies above).
Similarly, many studies were single centre, which
can affect the generalisability of results. Quality
analysis demonstrated some of the most common
aws in the studies – namely patient selection,
which must be acknowledge is largely due to
ethical and technical consideration rather than
poor selection.
We were specically interested in identifying
predictors of poor QoL gains post-operatively,
and given the paucity of data around the subject,
this was particularly difcult. In all of the literature identied, only few studies directly
broached this topic. This provides a bottleneck
in terms of validating the ndings of these articles as well as limiting the scope of other potential factors which can negatively affect QoL
post-operatively.
Conclusion
Increases in average population age across
developed countries means there is a greater
prevalence of valvular heart disease. Elderly
patients can safely undergo valvular surgery
with excellent post-operative outcomes. While
mortality and morbidity are both important
measures of operative success, it is imperative
that a quality of life measure be included when
evaluating the success of valvular surgery in
elderly patients. Our literature review identified that quality of life gains post-operatively
for elderly patients undergoing valvular heart
surgery are both evident and significant when
compared to pre-operative state. In saying
that, we identified certain factors which can be
correlated to limited QoL improvement—
these included prosthetic type, valve dimensions, renal failure, AF, LV dysfunction,
gender, NYHA score and replacement as compared to repair in mitral valve surgery
(Fig.10.3).
Conclusion
• Variety of tools to measure QoL make
Comparing across studies difficult
• Risk factors like diabetes, LV function,
Gender, renal failure negatively impact
post -op QoL
• Limited upper sternotomy may benefit
in regards to secondary endpoints
• TAVI approach helps QoL in the first
year
• QoL similar to between TAVI and
SVAR by I year
• QoL improve after MVR but possibly
more after MVr
• Mini Mitral approach allows for better
QoL over the first 12 months

Quality ofLife After Mitral Valve
Surgery
Introduction
Recent years have seen a rising interest in measuring quality of life (QoL) as an outcome of cardiac surgery for mitral valve repair/replacement
rather than focusing solely on postoperative morbidity and mortality. Consistent with available
guidelines [1], the current clinical trend is to treat
severe degenerative mitral disease surgically in
the early phase when patients are still asymptomatic. Earlier treatment makes preserving patient
QoL a high priority and an important benchmark
for procedural success.
Alongside a focus on postoperative QoL, cardiac centers are increasingly opting for minimally invasive surgical approaches as a way to
minimize surgical risk. Recent strides forward in
surgical technique have made fully endoscopic
mitral valve repair/replacement a safe, common
procedure that produces similar outcomes to the

sternotomy approach in terms of morbidity and
mortality. To this end, it is imperative to examine
QoL as an additional important outcome of minimally invasive and percutaneous procedures, as
has been recently done for traditional surgical
approaches.
Methods forAssessing theQuality
ofLife
Several instruments are used to measure QoL
after cardiac surgery. Generic tools (i.e., nondisease specic tools) include the Short-Form
(SF) 36 [2], RAND SF-36 [3], SF-12 [4], Linear
Analogue Scale Assessment [4], 6-Domain
Australian QoL Index [5], Nottingham Health
Prole Questionnaire [6], Patient Component of
the Global Assessment [7], and the EuroQoL-5D
[8]. Disease-specic tools include the Minnesota
Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire
(MLHFQ) [9], Kansas City Cardiomyopathy
Questionnaire (KCCQ) [7], and Duke Activity
Status index (DASI) [10]. These instruments can
be used individually or in combination to assess
QoL as an outcome of cardiac surgery.
The most widely used assessment among
studies reported in the literature is the SF-36.
Advantages of the SF-36 questionnaire include
its brevity (on average, the survey takes no longer
than 10min to complete) and precision (validity
and reproducibility). The 36 questions of the

Predictors of impared health-related quality of life (HRQOL) improvement.
N. Di Bari et al.
SF-36 are subdivided into 8 different scales and 2
indices that summarize physical and mental
health. A higher score indicates better selfperceived health. With regard to disease-specic
scales, the KCCQ is most widely used and is
structured in 23 items representing 6 dimensions,
with higher scores indicating better QoL.
Negative Predictors ofQuality ofLife
In most studies, variables that negatively inuence QoL after mitral valve surgery are female
sex, older age, and higher New York Heart
Association (NYHA) class [11, 12]. Other factors such as coronary heart disease (and associated risk factors) and previous myocardial
infarction also negatively impact QoL in this context (Fig.11.1).
In one study, Ay etal. [2] reported that preoperative atrial brillation, oral anticoagulation,
peripheral vascular disease, and female sex negatively inuenced mental score. Similarly,
Maisano etal. [13] identied preoperative atrial
brillation, diabetes mellitus, high creatinine
level, Euroscore, degree of mitral insufciency
(MI), and pulmonary artery pressure as negative
predictors after mitral valve surgery.

Biological Versus Mechanical Heart
Valve Replacement
In a study conducted by Molero Junior et al.
[14], QoL was assessed using the SF-36in 36
patients (16 men, mean age 51 years) who
underwent mitral valve replacement surgery.
The authors found that prosthesis type did not
inuence postoperative QoL after an average
follow-up period of 32.5months. In contrast, a
recent study of 150 patients by Huang et al.
[15] found that mechanical mitral valve replacement with the ATS valve (ATS Medical, Inc.,
Minneapolis, Minn) was associated with better
QoL at discharge (determined using the Chinese
version of the SF-36) compared to replacement
with the Sorin and St. Jude Medical (SJM)
valves, although this difference gradually
decreased at 3 and 12 months of follow-up.
Another study by the same group [16] compared postoperative QoL after replacement
with the Star GK (85 patients) and SJM (87
patients) and found no signicant difference
between groups.

Conventional Mitral Valve
Intervention (Surgical Repair or
Replacement) Via Median
Sternotomy
Several studies have reported the use of single
assessment tools in patients undergoing conventional mitral repair or replacement surgery with
median sternotomy. In general, patients exhibit
improvements in QoL during the postoperative
period with scores similar to or even higher than
the normal population, especially for the physical
component [6, 17, 18]. Some studies illustrate
this effect to be larger in patients undergoing
repair rather than replacement [9, 19]. On the
other hand, a prospective randomized study identied no signicant difference in postoperative
QoL after repair versus replacement, even in
patients with moderate or severe MI at follow-up
[10].
Hansen etal. [11] found that QoL improved in
all patients (n = 663) undergoing conventional
valve repair surgery regardless of etiology.
Moreover, patients treated for mitral degeneration showed a higher physical well-being score
than a population sample matched for age and
gender. Patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy had the worst QoL scores at follow-up,
especially if they were women, despite higher
comorbidities among men.
Conventional Mitral Valve
Interventions (Surgical Repair or
Replacement) versusMinimally
Invasive Approach
In two studies comparing patients undergoing
conventional versus minimally invasive mitral
valve surgery, QoL (assessed using the SF-12 and
SF-36, respectively) was superior in patients
undergoing minimally invasive surgery at shortterm follow-up, but there was no difference during long-term follow-up [20, 21]. Similarly, Suri
etal. [20] identied a benet of robotic surgery to
conventional surgery during the rst year of follow- up, but observed no signicant difference at
12 or 24months. Nasso et al. [21] conducted a
randomized controlled trial in 160 patients with
Barlow’s disease and found that patients undergoing minimally invasive mitral surgery had better physical activity and general well-being at
6 months, but there was no benet in terms of
SF-36 score at 1year. Two other studies similarly
detected no difference in QoL outcomes after
conventional versus minimally invasive procedures beyond the immediate postoperative period
[4, 22]. These studies do however conrm the
non-superiority of minimally invasive surgery to
conventional surgery for postoperative QoL, supporting the adoption of minimally invasive surgery as the gold standard for mitral repair/
replacement at many cardiac surgery centers.
A recent study by Zhao etal. [23] compared
QoL measured with the SF-12 at 30 days and
6 months after mitral valve replacement with a
robotic (da Vinci) versus conventional approach
(47 patients in each group). In this study, QoL
was initially better in the robotic group, but this
difference diminished at 6months. However, the
robotic approach is less invasive, favors quick
postoperative recovery, and has higher patient
satisfaction.
Another study retrospectively compared the
effect of fully endoscopic versus conventional
mitral surgery on QoL in a population of 163
patients using the Chinese version of the Medical
Outcome Study (MOS) SF-36. At 3months follow- up, the authors noted a signicant group difference in bodily pain and mental pain scores in
favor of the minimally invasive group. In conclusion, compared to median sternotomy, endoscopic surgery has a noninferior therapeutic
effect and improves QoL with a better cosmetic
effect and lower pain [5].
MitraClip Implantation
Edge-to-edge percutaneous mitral repair signicantly reduces mitral regurgitation with a low
complication rate in patients with severe MI
who are not eligible for conventional surgery.
Many studies in the literature have reported a
signicant improvement in QoL among patients
receiving a MitraClip implant [24–26]. In a

214
N. Di Bari et al.
study by Agata Krawczyk-Ożóg etal. [27], the
MitraClip was compared to conventional conservative treatment in 33 patients with severe
mitral regurgitation on a functional basis, as the
efcacy and benet of this procedure is not yet
fully established. Compared to conservative
treatment, MitraClip implantation improved the
clinical condition of patients measured as signicant decrease in NYHA class; reduced the
extent of regurgitation, effective regurgitant orice area of the vena contracta, regurgitation
volume, and end diastolic left ventricular diameter; and improved QoL measured on the
EQ-5D-3L and SF-12v2 at a mean follow-up of
8.0 ± 2.3 months. Other studies have reported
no signicant difference between the MitraClip
implant and conventional surgery in this context
[28, 29].
In a cohort study used by the Society of
Thoracic Surgeons/American College of
Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy registry,
Arnold etal. [7] analyzed data from patients with
severe MI treated between 2013 and 2017 at 217
US hospitals and measured changes in diseasespecic health status (KCCQ-Overall Summary
[OS] score; range 0-100 points, with higher
scores indicating better health status) at 30days
and 1year after the procedure. Risk factors associated with 30-day KCCQ-OS were also evaluated. KCCQ data were available from 81.2% of
patients at baseline, 69.3% of survivors at
30days, and 47.4% of survivors at 1year. Among
4226 patients who underwent transcatheter mitral
valve repair, KCCQ-OS increased from 41.9
before the procedure to 66.7 at 30days and scores
remained stable to 1year post-procedure. In the
multivariable analysis, atrial brillation, permanent pacemaker, severe lung disease, home oxygen, in-hospital renal failure, and lower
KCCQ-OS scores at baseline were independently
associated with lower 30-day KCCQ-OS scores.
In estimates calculated with inverse probability
weighting, 54.2% of patients were alive and well
at 1-year follow-up, 23.0% had died, 21.9% had
persistently poor health status (KCCQ-OS <60
points), 5.5% had a health status decline from
baseline, and 4.6% had both poor health status
and health status decline.
Other Percutaneous Mitral Valve
Interventions
With regard to other percutaenous interventions,
studies have demonstrated improvements in QoL
after implantation with the Carillon Mitral
Countou System [8, 30].
The Viacor percutaneous transvenous mitral
annuloplasty device was used in one study, but
the trial was terminated prematurely due to perioperative complications and no observable
improvement [31].
A study by Barth etal. [32] examined QoL at
5 months after treatment with the PASCAL
device in 31 patients: 63% had functional MI,
29% had degenerative disease, and 9.7% had
mixed etiology. Eighty-seven percent of the
cohort completed follow-up including the KCCQ
and EuroQoL5D.The authors detected postoperative QoL improvements of 31 and 9 points,
respectively, supporting safety and efcacy of the
device. Another work by Lim etal. [33] used the
same QoL measures and identied improvements
of 17 and 10 points, respectively, in 62 patients at
30days after PASCAL device implantation.
Finally, a study by Okoh etal. [34] evaluated
QoL in 15 patients undergoing transcatheter
valve-in-valve implantation for previous biological valve degeneration using the Sapien XT,
Sapien, or Sapien S3 and reported QoL improvement in 10 out of 11 patients evaluated at 30days
follow-up.
Quality ofLife After Tricuspid Valve
Surgery
Severe tricuspid insufciency is relatively common and higher severity is associated with higher
morbidity and mortality. Treatments for isolated
forms are limited. For most patients, both medical therapy and conventional surgery can be
effective; however, transcatheter repair surgery
has become a treatment of choice and produces
signicant improvements in QoL and mortality.
Davidson etal. [35] reported outcomes of rsttime treatment with the Cardioband device in US
cohort of 30 patients and found that 75% of

11 Quality ofLife After Mitral Valve andTricuspid Valve Surgery

215
patients were NYHA class I or II and showed a
KCCQ score improvement of 16 points at
30 days follow-up. Another study by Nickenig
etal. [36] demonstrated an increase in follow-up
KCCQ score of 14 points after the same
procedure.
Guillem Muntanè-Carol etal. [37] described
an initial experience with the FORMA device for
transcatheter tricuspid repair in high-risk patients.
Patients showed signicant improvements in
both heart disease symptoms and QoL.Positive
results were also obtained with the TrialignTM
device, which represents a new percutaneous tricuspid annuloplasty technique for functional
insufciency [38]. The edge-to-edge transcatheter technique has also been shown to be safe and
effective for reducing tricuspid insufciency and
improves QoL by 16% [39].
Although there is considerable clinical experience with transcatheter repair in the literature,
repair is not possible or may not optimally reduce
the severity of tricuspid regurgitation in a large
number of patients. A large coaptation gap
(>6–8 mm) and non-central regurgitant jets are
associated with poor procedural success.
Moreover, the presence of calcication and
immobile or severely retracted leaets (especially the septal leaet) with extensive tenting
distances are also negative predictors of outcome
after repair. Transcatheter replacement is the preferred treatment option in cases of moderate or
severe tricuspid regurgitation after repair. Valves
currently in use include orthotopic types
(Cardiovalve, Evoque, Lux-Valve, Navigate,
TriSol, Intrepid, TriCares) and heterotopic types
(Sapien XT, TricValve, Tricento), both of which
appear to positively inuence QoL [40].
