Limited data exist regarding the impact of mitral annular calcification (MAC) on outcomes transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for regurgitation (MR).
Obesity has previously been identified as an indicator of good prognosis in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), association known the "obesity paradox". We investigated whether abdominal total fat area (TFA), visceral (VFA), or subcutaneous (SFA) are prognostic indicators long-term clinical outcome TAVI. Methods and Results: retrospectively analyzed 100 consecutive who underwent TAVI between December 2013 April 2017. TFA, VFA, SFA were measured from routine...
To assess whether intraprocedural transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE)-derived haemodynamic parameters predict outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for mitral regurgitation (MR).This is a single-centre, retrospective analysis encompassing 458 (IQR, 104-1035) days of follow-up after 926 consecutive [481 (52%) with functional MR] referred to an isolated TEER between 2013 and 2020. Cases without actual clip deployment, or whom prior procedures had taken...
Abstract Aims To explore the characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for primary mitral regurgitation (MR) according to presence left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) reduction post-procedure. Methods results We retrospectively analysed 317 individuals [median age 83 (interquartile range, 75–88) years, 197 (62.1%) males] treated with an isolated, first-time TEER that was concluded by a successful clip deployment. Stratified LVEF change...
– Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) adversely affects prognosis following mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). We aimed to derive a risk stratification tool for patients undergoing TEER while exhibiting significant TR. This is single-center, retrospective analysis of 217 consecutive individuals referred an isolated who had moderate-to-severe or greater TR at baseline. The primary outcome was the 1-year composite all-cause mortality heart failure hospitalizations. cohort randomly split...
Abstract Aims Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) is a known outcome predictor in transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for functional mitral regurgitation (MR). We aimed to assess its prognostic yield the setting of TEER chronic primary MR. Methods and results conducted single-centre, retrospective analysis 323 consecutive patients undergoing isolated, first-time procedures. Stratified by baseline LVGLS quartiles (≤−19%, −18.9% −16%, −15.9% −12%, >−12%), cohort was...
Background Prognostically meaningful tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is not well‐defined in the mitral transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair arena. We aimed to explore prevalence, correlates, and consequences of TR grades postprocedural trends this setting. Methods Results A single‐center registry isolated, first‐time interventions was retrospectively assessed for pre‐, intra‐, aspects up 1 year, them primary composite outcome all‐cause deaths or heart failure (HF) hospitalizations, all according...
Objective Design a predictive risk model for minimizing iliofemoral vascular complications (IVC) in contemporary era of transfemoral-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TF-TAVR). Background IVC remains common complication TF-TAVR despite the technological improvement new-generation transcatheter systems (NGTS) and enclosed poor outcomes quality life. Currently, there is no accepted tool to assess calcified tortuous vessels. Methods We reconstructed CT images 516 propensity-matched...
