Clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of transcatheter mitral valve repair in atrial functional mitral regurgitation.

Background: Isolated atrial fibrillation can cause mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with normal left ventricular systolic function and no organic disease of the mitral valve. Little information is available regarding outcomes of Mitraclip in patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR). We aimed to evaluate 12-month clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) with MitraClip in patients with AFMR compared to those with ventricular functional or degenerative/mixed MR. Methods: Registry-based analysis of all consecutive patients who underwent TMVR and were included in the Spanish Registry of Mitraclip. Changes in MR and NYHA functiona…

Transcatheter Mitral Repair for Functional Mitral Regurgitation According to Left Ventricular Function: A Real-Life Propensity-Score Matched Study

Background: Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) could improve survival in functional mitral regurgitation (FMR), but it is necessary to consider the influence of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Therefore, we compare the outcomes after TMVR with Mitraclip&reg

Acute Kidney Injury After Percutaneous Edge-to-Edge Mitral Repair.

BACKGROUND In catheter-based procedures, acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent, serious complication ranging from 10% to 30%. In MitraClip (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California), a usually contrast-free procedure, there is scarce data about its real incidence and impact. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate incidence, predictive factors, and midterm outcomes of AKI in patients with significant mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing transcatheter valve repair with MitraClip. METHODS A total of 721 patients undergoing MitraClip were included. AKI was defined as an absolute or a relative increase in serum creatinine of >0.3 mg/dl or >= 50%, respectively, or the need for hemodialysis dur…
