Impact of mitral valve complexity on outcomes following transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair
This study provides the first large-scale validation of a recently proposed mitral valve complexity framework. Anatomical complexity showed an etiology-specific impact, with no relevant effect on MR reduction or clinical outcomes in SMR, but increasing residual MR in primary disease. Given an acceptable rate of MR reduction, M-TEER can even be considered in selected patients with unfavorable MV anatomy as "ultima ratio".
