Long-term clinical and haemodynamic results after transcatheter annuloplasty for secondary mitral regurgitation.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The study sought to investigate the long-term outcome after transcatheter mitral valve annuloplasty for secondary mitral regurgitation (MR).

Methods and results

Consecutive patients with symptomatic secondary MR undergoing transcatheter mitral valve annuloplasty with the Carillon device at Leipzig University Hospital between 2012 and 2018 were studied prospectively. Left ventricular (LV) function and MR severity were quantified by standardized echocardiography. 33 patients were included. Mean age was 75 ± 10 years, and 20 patients were women. A Society of Thoracic Surgeons score of 8.1 ± 7.2% indicated high-risk status. In 24 patients, MR resulted from LV remodelling and dysfunction, eight suffered from left atrial dilatation, and one patient had MR due to combined prim
