摘要

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the effects of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) on left ventricular hemodynamics and its potential implications for patient health.

Methods

An in vitro experimental platform was designed to replicate the anatomical and functional characteristics of the left ventricle (LV). This platform integrates native porcine mitral and aortic valves with a patient-specific 3D-printed silicone LV. The LV hemodynamics after TEER is assessed using echocardiography and particle image velocimetry, focusing on critical indices such as vorticity, Reynolds shear stress (RSS), viscous shear stress (VSS), and energy dissipation rate (ε).

Results

TEER effectively reduces the degree of mitral regurgitation (MR); however, it significantly increases RSS, VSS, and ε due to the formation of numerous small-scale vortices in the LV.

Conclusion

These hemodynamic changes may lead to adverse left ventricular remodeling, red blood cell damage, and reduced cardiac pumping efficiency, which have to be taken into consideration to optimize the TEER procedure and improve patient outcomes.
