INTRODUCTION: Mitral valve repair is the treatment of choice to correct mixomatous mitral insufficiency. Tridimensional echocardiography studies demonstrate that mitral repair using prosthetic ring implant modifies mitral valve annulus morphology and function, although the literature related to mitral valve annulus behavior after mitral repair without use of prosthetic rings is scarce. OBJECTIVE: Analyze cardiac morphology and function using real time tridimensional echocardiography in individuals submitted to mitral valve repair with Double Teflon technique. CASUISTIC: Were included 14 patients with mitral valve insufficiency secondary to mixomatous degeneration that were submitted to mitral valve repair with the Double Teflon technique. Of them, 10 patients were male and the mean age was 61.3 ± 11.2 years. According to preoperatively functional class, 13 patients were in class III or IV. In preoperative echocardiographic analysis, the mean value of left ventricle end diastolic volume was 156.57 ± 46.61ml, and the left ventricle ejection fraction ranged between 38 and 68%, with average of 57.93 ± 6.67%. The mean value of the posterior annulus was 6.97 ± 0.13 cm. METHODS: Patients were evaluated in preoperative period, immediate postoperative period, 6 months and 1 year after mitral repair. Tridimensional echocardiography evaluated mitral annulus morphology by anterior and posterior measurements, transverse diameters and valve area. The annular function was evaluated through the ratio between internal valve areas during systole and diastole. Were evaluated left atrial and ventricle volumes and function. Statistic analysis was made by repeated measures ANOVA test and was considered statistically significant p <0.05. RESULTS: Posterior mitral annulus demonstrated a significant reduction in immediate postoperative period (p<0.001), remaining stable during the study. There was no significant variation in valve area during the study. There was a significant reduction in anteroposterior and mediolateral diameters in the immediate postoperative period (p<0.001), although there was a significant increase in mediolateral diameter between immediate postoperative period and 1 year. Annular area variation over the cardiac cycle during the study ranged between 30.92 and 35.75%, without statistic significance. The analysis of systolic volumes, atrial and ventricular, demonstrated a significant volumetric reduction between immediate postoperative period and 1 year (p=0.028 and p=0.020, respectively). Between preoperative period and 1 year, there was a mean reduction in atrial and ventricle volumes of 19.9% and 15.4%, respectively. Atrial and ventricle diastolic volumes presented a significant reduction in immediate postoperative period (p<0.001 and p=0.024, respectively), remaining stable during the study. There was an increase in left atrial ejection fraction after 6 months (p<0.001), although there was no significant variation in left ventricle ejection fraction. CONCLUSIONS: Mitral valve repair with segmentar annuloplasty with the Double Teflon technique reduced the posterior mitral annulus, which remained stable in 1 year period. The variation in mitral annulus area during cardiac cycle remained stable during the study. Furthermore, there was a left atrial and ventricle reverse remodeling, associated with an improvement in left atrial function
