Outcomes of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for atrial functional mitral regurgitation
Authors' conclusion
An MR reduction to ≤1+ following TEER was associated with a lower risk of clinical outcomes in patients with AFMR, while an MPG ≥5 mmHg was related to a higher risk of clinical outcomes.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with functional mitral regurgitation undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER)
- Participants
- 441 patients
- Exposure
- Outcomes of TEER by residual mitral regurgitation (MR) and MPG in atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) vs ventricular FMR (VFMR)
- AFMRn = 125
- Outcome
- Composite of:
- All-cause mortality
- HF hospitalisation
- Follow-up
- Within one year
Main finding
