Background

Data on mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) in Asian patients are limited. This study evaluates the anatomical suitability and clinical efficacy of M-TEER in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation (MR).ÙÍîÜ£º亚ñ½ü´íºì£ôÓ÷û经导η缘对缘áó复术£¨M-TEER£©îÜ数ËßêóùÚ¡£Üâ研ϼ评ËÀÖõM-TEERî¤ñé国ñéñìÓøûäñìÓøì£ôÓ÷ûÚ÷×µ£¨MR£©ü´íºñéîÜú°Üø学ÎÁéÄàõûú临ßÉêóüùàõ¡£Û°Ûö£ºÜâ研ϼ纳ìýÖõ2021Ò´1êÅò¸2024Ò´2êÅî¤Ý½èâ医êÂïÈáôM-TEERõ±声ãý动图筛查îÜñéñìÓøûäñìÓøì£ôÓ÷ûÚ÷×µîÜñø状àõü´íº¡£ÐÆËßM-TEERîÜ当îñú°Üø学标ñ×对ü´íº进ú¼ÝÂ类¡£总结Öõ临ßÉ÷åïÖ¡¢õ±声ãý动图参数ûúö½疗£¬ñìïÃ关ñ¼M-TEERîÜâ¢术à÷Ííáãûú1Ò´MR复发áã¡£结Íý£ºÍììý组481ÖÇü´íº£¬Ðìñé÷Üú¼àõMR£¨DMR

Methods

This study included symptomatic patients with moderate-to-severe or severe MR who underwent M-TEER echocardiographic screening at Fuwai Hospital from January 2021 to February 2024. Patients were classified according to current anatomical criteria for M-TEER. Clinical characteristics, echocardiographic parameters, and treatments were summarized, focusing on the procedural success of M-TEER and 1-year MR recurrence rates.

Results

 A total of 481 patients were enrolled, including 304 with degenerative MR (DMR) and 150 with functional MR (FMR). The average age was 68.81 years, 44.28% were female, and 70.69% had severe MR. DMR patients had smaller absolute left atrial and ventricular diameters compared to FMR patients. Ideal, suitable, challenging, and impossible M-TEER anatomy was found in 23.49%, 36.17%, 13.93%, and 26.4% of patients, respectively. Among those who underwent M-TEER, these proportions were 36%, 46%, 15%, and 3%. The 1-year cumulative incidence of MR recurrence was similar between different etiologies but significantly lower in patients with ideal/suitable anatomy compared to those with challenging/impossible anatomy (5.28% vs 11.86%, P=0.003). Multivariable analysis showed that a leaflet-to-annulus index of <1.2 increased the risk of MR recurrence within one year by 478%.

Conclusion

Among patients with significant MR, 59.66% had ideal/suitable M-TEER anatomy, but only 48% received treatment, indicating potential undertreatment. Patients with ideal/feasible anatomy had higher procedural success rates and lower recurrence risks.
