Left atrial geometry in an ovine ischemic mitral regurgitation model: implications for transcatheter mitral valve replacement devices with a left atrial anchoring mechanism.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTranscatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is a challenging, but promising minimally invasive treatment option for patients with mitral valve disease. Depending on the anchoring mechanism, complications such as mitral leaflet or chordal disruption, aortic valve disruption or left ventricular outflow tract obstruction may occur. Supra-annular devices only anchor at the left atrial (LA) level with a low risk of these complications. For development of transcatheter valves based on LA anchoring, animal feasibility studies are required. In this study we sought to describe LA systolic and diastolic geometry in an ovine ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) model using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and echocardiography in order to facilitate future research focusing on TMVR device development for (I)MR with LA anchoring mechanisms.
methodsA group of 10 adult male Dorsett sheep underwent a left lateral thoracotomy. Posterolateral myocardial infarction was created by ligation of the left circumflex coronary artery, the obtuse marginal and diagonal branches. MRI and echocardiography were performed at baseline and 8 weeks after myocardial infarction (MI).
resultsSix animals survived to 8 weeks follow-up. All animals had grade 2 + or higher IMR 8 weeks post-MI. All LA geometric parameters did not change significantly 8 weeks post-MI compared to baseline. Diastolic and systolic interpapillary muscle distance increased significantly 8 weeks post-MI.
conclusionsSystolic and diastolic LA geometry do not change significantly in the presence of grade 2 + or higher IMR 8 weeks post-MI. These findings help facilitate future tailored TMVR device development with LA anchoring mechanisms.
