Comparison of transcatheter edge-to-edge and surgical repair in patients with functional mitral regurgitation using a meta-analytic approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence regarding favorable treatment of patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) using transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is constantly growing. However, there is only few data directly comparing TEER and surgical mitral valve repair (SMVr).

Aims

To compare baseline characteristics, short-term and 1-year outcomes in FMR patients undergoing mitral valve (MV) TEER or SMVr using a meta-analytic approach.

Methods

Systematic database search identified 1,703 studies reporting on TEER or SMVr for treatment of FMR between January 2010 and December 2020. A meta-analytic approach was used to compare outcomes from single-arm and randomized studies based on measures by means of their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Statistical significan
