Prognostic impact of being underweight in patients undergoing mitral TEER: The OCEAN-Mitral registry.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) is a valid treatment option for severe mitral regurgitation (MR), necessitating accurate risk stratification of M-TEER candidates for effective patient selection, optimal periprocedural care and improved long-term outcomes. The body mass index (BMI) is a simple and practical prognostic index, and the obesity paradox has been widely reported.

Methods and results

Between April 2018 and June 2021, 2149 patients undergoing M-TEER were registered in the prospective multicentre registry and classified into three groups: underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m²), normal weight (18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 kg/m²) and overweight and obese (25 kg/m² ≦ BMI) [Correction added on 17 October 2024, after first online publicat
