Transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with transcatheter devices has become a mainstay in the minimally invasive treatment of patients with severe mitral regurgitation at increased surgical risk. Despite its apparently favorable risk profile, there is uncertainty on the risk and features of cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) early and long after TMVR. We aimed at appraising incidence and predictors of CVA in patients undergoing TEER. We explicitly queried the dataset of an ongoing multicenter prospective observational study dedicated to TEER with MitraClip (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Incidence of CVA after TEER was formally appraised, and we explored also potential predictors of such event. Descriptive, bivariate and diagnostic accuracy analyses were performed. Out of 2238 patients undergoing TEER, CVA occurred in 33 (1.47% [95% confidence interval 1.02% to 2.06%]), including 6 (0.27% [0.10% to 0.58%]) inhospital strokes and 27 events after discharge (0.99% [0.66% to 1.44%]) over a median follow-up of of 14 months. Most CVA were major ischemic strokes, during the inhospital phase as well as subsequently. Overall, CVA were more common in patients with atrial fibrillation (p=0.018), renal dysfunction (p=0.032), higher EuroSCORE II (p=0.033), and, as expected, higher CHA2DS2-VASc score (p=0.033), despite the limited prognostic accuracy of such score. Notably, the occurrence of CVA did not confer a significantly increased risk of long-term death (p=0.136) or cardiac death (p=0.397). The incidence of CVA in patients undergoing TEER is low, with most events occurring after discharge, and being associated with pre-existing risk features. These findings, while reassuring on the safety of TEER, call for proactive antithrombotic therapy whenever CVA risk is increased before, as well as after such intervention.
