Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair for SAM-Related Mitral Regurgitation in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)
- Retrospective cohort study
- international
- multicentre
- 12 centres
- Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium (MVARC) definitions applied
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.
Study context
- Population
- Symptomatic patients with obstructive HCM and moderate-to-severe or severe systolic anterior motion (SAM)-related mitral regurgitation (MR)
- Participants
- 35 patients
