Abstract

Abstract Background Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is a newly discovered condition associated with longstanding atrial fibrillation. This retrospective study aimed to analyze the outcomes of the maze procedure and mitral regurgitation (MR) surgery in AFMR and atrial fibrillation in comparison with those in degenerative MR (DMR). Methods Patients who underwent mitral valve repair/replacement with a maze procedure at a hospital (July 2012–August 2021) were included. We excluded patients aged below 18 years undergoing concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting or atrial septal defect repair and those with MR etiology other than ARMR or DMR. Results We included 35 patients with AFMR and 50 patients with DMR. Patient characteristics and postoperative outcomes were not significantly different between the two groups. Long-term outcomes revealed no significant differences in the ratio of cardiac mortality, stroke, or hospital readmission. However, after the maze procedure, the sinus rhythm restoration rate was significantly lower (62% vs. 28.5%, p < 0.001), a junctional rhythm state (p < 0.001) and permanent pacemaker insertion for sick sinus syndrome (SSS) (p = 0.03) were significantly more common in AFMR than DMR. On postoperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), the pulmonary artery systolic pressure was significantly less decreased in the AFMR group than in the DMR group compared with that on preoperative TTE (p = 0.04). Conclusions AFMR showed excellent mitral valve surgery outcomes, similar to DMR, but had a significantly higher risk of pacemaker insertion for SSS after the maze procedure.
