Procedural simplification in mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair: full echocardiographic guidance and outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our group pioneered attempts to simplify the mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) procedure under full echocardiographic guidance; however, its safety and effectiveness remain unclear. This study aimed to compare its outcome with the traditional procedure under echocardiographic and fluoroscopic co-guidance.

Methods

From Jan 2021 to May 2024, 194 mitral regurgitation (MR) patients undergoing the simplified procedure (Echo guidance group, n = 113) and the traditional procedure (Co-guidance group, n = 81) were retrospectively reviewed. The propensity score matching (PSM) method was performed as a sensitivity analysis.

Results
