BACKGROUND: Ablation of ventricular arrhythmias (VA) originating from the left ventricular (LV) papillary muscles (PM) has the potential to damage the mitral valve apparatus resulting in mitral regurgitation (MR). This study sought to evaluate the effect of radiofrequency (RF) ablation of a PM on MR severity.
METHODS: Patients with pre- and postablation transthoracic echocardiograms who underwent PM ablation for treatment of VA were retrospectively identified and compared to similar patients who underwent VA ablation at non-PM sites. MR severity was evaluated pre- and postablation in both groups and graded as none/trace (Grade 0); mild/mild-to-moderate (Grade 1); moderate (Grade 2); moderate-to-severe/severe (Grade 3).
RESULTS: A total of 45 and 49 patients were included in the PM and non-PM groups, respectively. There were no significant baseline demographic differences. The PM group had longer RF ablation times (22.3 vs. 13.3 min, p < .01) compared to the non-PM group. Most patients had low-grade MR in both groups at baseline. Change in pre- versus postablation MR within the PM group was not statistically significant by Wilcoxon rank-sum test (Figure 2, p = .46). MR severity following ablation was also evaluated using logistic regression models. The odds ratio for worsening MR in the PM group compared to non-PM was 0.19 (95% confidence interval: 0.008-4.18, p = .29) after adjusting for comorbidities, LV ejection fraction, and LV internal end-diastolic diameter.
CONCLUSION: RF ablation of VA originating from PM under intracardiac echocardiography guidance did not result in clinically or statistically significant worsening of MR.
