Effect of Percutaneous Edge-to-edge Repair on Mitral Valve Area and Its Association with Pulmonary Hypertension and Outcomes

Abstract Percutaneous edge-to-edge repair using the MitraClip system causes reduction of mitral valve area (MVA). However, its clinical impact is not fully elucidated. This study assessed the impact of postprocedural MVA reduction on pulmonary hypertension and outcomes. A total of 92 patients with g...

Description
Summary:Abstract Percutaneous edge-to-edge repair using the MitraClip system causes reduction of mitral valve area (MVA). However, its clinical impact is not fully elucidated. This study assessed the impact of postprocedural MVA reduction on pulmonary hypertension and outcomes. A total of 92 patients with grades 3 to 4+ mitral regurgitation (MR) who underwent MitraClip therapy were retrospectively reviewed. Using intraprocedural 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3DTEE), postprocedural MVA was obtained by 2 optimized planes through the medial and lateral orifices of the repaired valve. MVA was reduced by 60.1% immediately after MitraClip procedure (p
