Outcomes Following Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement Using Dedicated Devices in Patients With Mitral Annular Calcification

JACC Cardiovasc IntervPublished Registry-based cohort study

Authors' conclusion

TMVR in patients with MACmod/sev is associated with higher rates of postprocedural complications but similar rates of survival, MR resolution, and functional improvement compared to MACnone/mild.
