Functional mitral regurgitation: structural modifications with percutaneous valve repair with MitraClip.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the most prevalent valvular diseases in our society. Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) with the MitraClip^® system is increasingly used for treating this condition. The aim of our study is to analyse morphological mitral valve changes related to the procedure and its correlation with the degree of regurgitation at mid-term follow-up and with the combined endpoint of heart failure and all-cause mortality.

Methods

A single-centre, prospective and observational study including consecutive patients admitted between October 2015 and October 2019 for TMVR was designed. The mitral valve annulus (MVA) was analyzed using the three-dimensional MVQ QLAB mitral valve quantification software (Philips; Amsterdam, The Netherla
