Impact of Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair Availability on Volume and Outcomes of Surgical Repair.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) on national surgical mitral valve repair (MVr) volume and outcomes is unknown.

Objectives

This study aims to assess the impact of TEER availability on MVr volumes and outcomes for degenerative mitral regurgitation.

Methods

MVr volume, 30-day and 5-year outcomes, including mortality, heart failure rehospitalization and mitral valve reintervention, were obtained from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons database linked with Medicare administrative claims and were compared within TEER centers before and after the first institutional TEER procedure. A difference-in-difference approach comparing parallel trends in coronary artery bypass grafting outcomes was used to account for temporal improvements in periopera
