Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair for SAM-Related Mitral Regurgitation in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM): The TRANSPARENT Registry

JACC Cardiovasc IntervPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

M-TEER appears to be a feasible and safe therapeutic option for anatomically suitable patients with obstructive HCM, LV outflow tract obstruction, and SAM-related MR who are at high or prohibitive surgical risk.
