Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair Technique in Specific Severe Mitral Regurgitation: Tips, Tricks, and Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In specific patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR), mitral valve (MV) pathology is unique and requires creative transcatheter repair techniques. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a new transcatheter MV repair technique, using occluder devices in symptomatic high-surgical-risk patients with severe MR, either due to MV leaflet (MVL) perforations or due to post-clips residual MR, and to report on their 6-month outcomes.

Methods

The study enrolled all high-risk patients with severe MR due to MVL perforations and post-clips residual MR who underwent transcatheter MV repair using occluder devices, from November 2016 to August 2019.

Results

The study enrolled 16 patients; 9 (56.25%) with MVL perforations and 7 (43.75%) with post-Mi
