Abstract

BackgroundWhile left atrial pressure (LAP) reflects hemodynamic load in patients with mitral regurgitation, there is uncertainty regarding the incremental utility of its measurement in patients undergoing mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER).MethodsWe examined outcomes of mitral TEER with MitraClip according to an integrated approach entailing LAP and MR assessment in 379 consecutive patients. Patients were categorized into 3 groups according post-procedural residual MR and mean LAP (mLAP): Group 1, grade ≤1 MR and mLAP ≤15 mmHg; Group 2, MR grade >1 or mLAP >15 mmHg; and Group 3, MR grade >1 and mLAP >15 mmHg. Primary endpoints for the study were all-cause mortality, and the combination of death and re-hospitalization for heart failure at 1-year follow-up after TEER.ResultsOverall, the patient population (median age, 82 years; 43.8% women) consisted mainly of patients with primary MR (83.1%) and severe symptoms (92.3%). For the endpoint of all-cause mortality, event-free survival at 1-year was 91.6%, 82.6%, and 67.9% for Groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively (HR 2.13, 95% CI, 1.44 to 3.15) (p<0.001). For the combined endpoint of all-cause mortality and re-hospitalization for heart failure, event-free survival at 1-year was 84.1%, 70.7% , and 53.2% for Groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively (HR 1.93, 95% CI, 1.41 to 2.65) (p<0.001) (Figure).ConclusionsDisclosuresS.
