Repeat Mitral Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair for Recurrent Significant Mitral Regurgitation.

ABSTRACT: Background There are limited data on repeat mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for recurrent significant mitral regurgitation (MR). Methods and Results We conducted a single-center, retrospective analysis of consecutive patients referred to a second mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair after a technically successful first procedure. Clinical, laboratory, and echocardiographic measures were assessed up to 1 year after the intervention. The composite of all-cause death or heart failure (HF) hospitalizations constituted the primary outcome. A total of 52 patients (median age, 81 [interquartile range, 76-87] years, 29 [55.8%] men, 26 [50.0%] with functional MR) met the inclusion criteria. MR recurrences were mostly related to progression of the underlying cardiac pathology. All proce
