Mitral regurgitation: lessons learned from COAPT and MITRA-Fr.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies about percutaneous treatment of secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) underlined the importance of left ventricular geometry and features of mitral valve as determinants of procedural and long-term success. Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), transcatheter mitral valve treatment (TMVT) and surgical procedures (mitral valve replacement, mitral valve repair at level of the annulus or subvalvular apparatus) have been extensively evaluated but not adequately compared in current clinical studies. A detailed analysis of the results of the study about transcatheter mitral valve repair would allow to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of such procedure and would provide potential indications for improving the quality of percutaneous and surgical repair in patients with moder
