Temporal Profiling of M-TEER-Related Complications
Authors' conclusion
The majority of post-procedural complications after M-TEER occur within the first 4 h, with pericardial tamponade and major bleeding occurring only during this period. These findings provide valuable insight for physicians in determining the optimal surveillance and monitoring duration after M-TEER within clinical settings.
