Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the impact of residual mitral regurgitation (resMR) on mortality with respect to left ventricular dilatation (LV-Dil) or right ventricular dysfunction (RV-Dys) in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) who underwent mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). Background The presence of LV-Dil and RV-Dys correlates with advanced stages of heart failure in SMR patients, which may impact the outcome after TEER. Methods SMR patients in a European multicenter registry were evaluated. Investigated outcomes were 2-year all-cause mortality and improvement in New York Heart Association functional class with respect to MR reduction, LV-Dil (defined as LV end-diastolic volume ≥159 ml), and RV-Dys (defined as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion-to-systolic pulmonary artery pressure ratio of  Results Among 809 included patients, resMR ≤1+ was achieved in 546 (67%) patients. Overall estimated 2-year mortality rate was 32%. Post-procedural resMR was significantly associated with mortality (p = 0.031). Although the improvement in New York Heart Association functional class persisted regardless of either LV-Dil or RV-Dys, the beneficial treatment effect of resMR ≤1+ on 2-year mortality was observed only in patients without LV-Dil and RV-Dys (hazard ratio: 1.75; 95% confidence interval: 1.03 to 3.00). Conclusions Achieving optimal MR reduction by TEER is associated with improved survival in SMR patients, especially if the progress in heart failure is not too advanced. In SMR patients with advanced stages of heart failure, as evidenced by LV-Dil or RV-Dys, the treatment effect of TEER on symptomatic improvement is maintained, but the survival benefit appears to be reduced.

Impact of Residual Mitral Regurgitation on Survival After Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair for Secondary Mitral Regurgitation.

Distinguishing Proportionate and Disproportionate Subtypes in Functional Mitral Regurgitation and Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction.

Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) can be subclassified on the basis of its proportionality relative to left ventricular (LV) volume and function, indicating potential differences in underlying etiology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of FMR proportionality with FMR reduction, heart failure hospitalization and mortality after transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER).This multicenter registry included 241 patients with symptomatic heart failure with reduced LV ejection fraction treated with TEER for moderate to severe or greater FMR. FMR proportionality was graded on preprocedural transthoracic echocardiography using the ratio of the effective regurgitant orifice area to LV end-diastolic volume. Baseline characteristics, follow-up transthoracic echocardiography, and 2-year clinical outcomes were compared between groups.Median LV ejection fraction, effective regurgitant orifice area and LV end-diastolic volume index were 30% (interquartile range [IQR], 25%-35%), 27 mm2, and 107 mL/m2 (IQR, 90-135 mL/m2), respectively. Median effective regurgitant orifice area/LV end-diastolic volume ratio was 0.13 (IQR, 0.10-0.18). Proportionate FMR (pFMR) and disproportionate FMR (dFMR) was present in 123 and 118 patients, respectively. Compared with patients with pFMR, those with dFMR had higher baseline LV ejection fractions (median, 32% [IQR, 27%-39%] vs 26% [IQR, 22%-33%]; P < .01). Early FMR reduction with TEER was more pronounced in patients with dFMR (odds ratio, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.28-0.74; P < .01) than those with pFMR, but not at 12 months (odds ratio, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.53-1.63; P = .80). Overall, in 35% of patients with initial FMR reduction after TEER, FMR deteriorated again at 1-year follow-up. Rates of 2-year all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalization were 30% (n = 66) and 37% (n = 76), with no differences between dFMR and pFMR.TEER resulted in more pronounced early FMR reduction in patients with dFMR compared with those with pFMR. Yet after initial improvement, FMR deteriorated in a substantial number of patients, calling into question durable mitral regurgitation reductions with TEER in selected patients. The proportionality framework may not identify durable TEER responders.

Left atrial volume index and outcome after transcatheter edge‐to‐edge valve repair for secondary mitral regurgitation

Transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (TEER) with MitraClip improves outcomes among select patients with moderate–to‐severe and severe mitral regurgitation; however, data regarding sex‐specific differences in the outcomes among patients undergoing TEER are limited.

Sex differences in outcomes of transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair with MitraClip: A meta‐analysis

Objectives The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the impact of proportionality of secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) in a large real-world registry of transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TMVr) Background Differences in the outcomes of recent randomized trials of TMVr for SMR may be explained by the proportionality of SMR severity to left ventricular (LV) volume. Methods The ratio of pre-procedural effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA) to LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) was retrospectively assessed in patients undergoing TMVr for severe SMR between 2008 and 2019 from the EuroSMR registry. A recently proposed SMR proportionality scheme was adapted to stratify patients according to EROA/LVEDV ratio in 3 groups: MR-dominant (MD), MR-LV-co-dominant (MLCD), and LV-dominant (LD). All-cause mortality was assessed as a primary outcome, secondary heart failure (HF) outcomes included hospitalization for HF (HHF), New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class, N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), 6-min-walk distance, quality of life and MR grade. Results A total of 1,016 patients with an EROA/LVEDV ratio were followed for 22 months after TMVr. MR was reduced to grade ≤2+ in 92%, 96%, and 94% of patients (for MD, MLCD, and LD, respectively; p = 0.18). After adjustment for covariates including age, sex, diabetes, kidney function, body surface area, LV ejection fraction, and procedural MR reduction (grade ≤2+), adjusted rates of 2-year mortality in MD patients did not differ from those for MLCD patients (17% vs. 18%, respectively), whereas it was higher in LD patients (23%; p = 0.02 for comparison vs. MD+MLCD). The adjusted first HHF rate differed between groups (44% in MD, 56% in MLCD, 29% in LD; p = 0.01) as did the adjusted time for first death or HHF rate (66% in MD, 82% in MLCD, 68% in LD; p = 0.02). Improvement of NYHA functional class was seen in all groups (p  Conclusions MD and MLCD patients had a comparable, adjusted 2-year mortality rate after TMVr which was slightly better than that of LD patients. Patients treated with TMVr had symptomatic improvement regardless of EROA/LVEDV ratio.
