Prognostic value of hepatorenal function following transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hepatorenal dysfunction is a strong prognostic predictor in patients with heart failure. However, the prognostic impact of the hepatorenal dysfunction in patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) has not been well studied.

Methods

In consecutive patients who underwent edge-to-edge TMVR at three German centers, the model for end-stage liver disease excluding international normalized ratio (MELD-XI) score was calculated as 5.11 × ln [serum total bilirubin (mg/dl)] + 11.76 × ln [serum creatinine (mg/dl)] + 9.44. Patients were stratified into high (> 11) or low (≤ 11) MELD-XI score of which an incidence of the composite outcome, consisting of all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalization, within 2 years after TMVR was assessed.
