Findings from transoesophageal echocardiographic follow-up after mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair
TOE follow-up allowed the detection of complications that would not be diagnosed using transthoracic echocardiography only and should therefore be used liberally in the patients presenting with a suboptimal result. A mean MV gradient ≥5 mmHg and severe MR, diagnosed at the 6-month TOE follow-up, were associated with adverse clinical outcomes.
