Objective To evaluate the changes of left ventricular morphology and contractile function of patients with mitral stenosis and small left ventricle after mitral valve replacement. Methods Studies on the changes of left ventricular morphology and contractile function of patients with mitral stenosis and small left ventricle after mitral valve replacement were searched from the databases of Wangfang, VIP, CNKI, PubMed, Elsevier Science Direct, and Cochrane Library from establishment to January 2015. Quality of articles was evaluated. Relevant data were extracted from eligible studies to conduct meta-analysis. Mean differences (MD) of left ventricle end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI), left ventricle end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fraction shortening (LVFS) between the preoperative and the postoperative value from eligible studies were analyzed and pooled, and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. R2.15.3 software was applied for statistical analysis. Results Eight eligible studies involving 446 patients were analyzed in the study. The quality of included literature was high. The results of meta-analysis showed that LVEDVI and LVEDD increased by 14.51 ml/m2 with 95%CI -22.78 to -6.25 (P<0.01) and 4.88 mm with 95%CI -10.85 to 1.09 (P=0.11) respectively at 2 weeks postoperatively compared with preoperative value. LVEF decreased by 3.05% with 95%CI -3.02% to 9.12% (P=0.32) while LVFS increased by 1.16% with 95%CI -4.83% to 2.50% (P=0.53) at 2 weeks postoperatively. Compared with preoperative value, LVEDVI and LVEDD markedly increased by 16.11 ml/m2 with 95%CI -20.32 to -11.90 (P<0.01) and 10.56 mm with 95%CI -11.52 to -9.60 (P<0.01) respectively at 6 months postoperatively. LVEF and LVFS increased by 7.69% with 95%CI -17.18% to 1.8% (P=0.11) and 6.21% with 95%CI -10.07% to -2.36% (P<0.01) respectively at 6 months postoperatively compared with preoperative value. Conclusion Left ventricular morphology and contractile function of patients with mitral stenosis and small left ventricle recovers well after mitral valve replacement.
