Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair versus Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery: An Observational Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIC-MVS) has been established as preferred treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR), but mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge valve repair (M-TEER) is routinely performed in patients at high surgical risk and is increasingly performed in intermediate risk patients. Methods: From 2010 to 2021, we performed 723 M-TEER and 123 isolated MIC-MVS procedures. We applied a sensitivity analysis by matching age, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), EuroSCORE II and etiology of MR. Results: Baseline characteristics showed significant differences in the overall cohort (p < 0.01): age 78.3 years vs. 61.5 years, EuroSCORE II 5.5% vs. 1.3% and LVEF 48.4% vs. 60.4% in M-TEER vs. MIC-MVS patients. Grade of MR at discharge was
