Association of Pulmonary Hypertension With Clinical Outcomes of Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Pulmonary hypertension (pHTN) is associated with increased risk of mortality after mitral valve surgery for mitral regurgitation. However, its association with clinical outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) with a commercially available system (MitraClip) is unknown.

Objective

To assess the association of pHTN with readmissions for heart failure and 1-year all-cause mortality after TMVr.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study analyzed 4071 patients who underwent TMVr with the MitraClip system from November 4, 2013, through March 31, 2017, across 232 US sites in the Society of Thoracic Surgery/American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy registry. Patients were stratified into the fo
