Atrial fibrillation and clinical outcomes after mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair: A mechanism-stratified cohort study
AF, more than MR mechanism, was strongly associated with HF hospitalization or death after TEER; the poorest clinical outcomes were observed in aFMR and in vFMR with AF despite similar acute MR reduction and left-atrial unloading. These findings support the hypothesis that in significant MR without AF, earlier TEER may improve outcome before AF develops.
