Tricuspid Valve Annuloplasty Alters Leaflet Mechanics
Tricuspid valve regurgitation is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Its most common treatment option, tricuspid valve annuloplasty, is not optimally effective in the long-term. Toward identifying the causes for annuloplasty's ineffectiveness, we have previously investigated the technique's impact on the tricuspid annulus and the right ventricular epicardium. In our current work, we are extending our analysis to the anterior tricuspid valve leaflet. To this end, we adopted our previous strategy of performing DeVega suture annuloplasty as an experimental methodology that allows us to externally control the degree of cinching during annuloplasty. Thus, in ten sheep we successively cinched the annulus and quantified changes to leaflet motion, dynamics, and strain in the beating heart by combining sonomicrometry with our well-established mechanical framework. We found that successive cinching of the valve enforced earlier coaptation and thus reduced leaflet range of motion. Additionally, leaflet angular velocity during opening and closing decreased. Finally, we found that leaflet strains were also reduced. Specifically, radial and areal strains decreased as a function of annular cinching. Our findings are critical as they suggest that suture annuloplasty alters the mechanics of the tricuspid valve leaflets which may disrupt their resident cells' mechanobiological equilibrium. Long-term, such disruption may stimulate tissue maladaptation which could contribute to annuloplasty's sub-optimal effectiveness. Additionally, our data suggest that the extent to which annuloplasty alters leaflet mechanics can be controlled via degree of cinching. Hence, our data may provide direct surgical guidelines.
