MitraClip: Should We Intervene Earlier?
Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. Repairing the mitral valve with Mitraclip has become an alternative for high risk or inoperable symptomatic patients, but its long term evolution has only been tested by the EVEREST II, which had not taken into account 5 year mortality outcomes. Therefore, to better study its evolution, we need to carry out different randomized studies…
Mitral Valve Global Registry: transcatheter mitral valve replacement due to native valve disease
Courtesy of the SBHCI. The risk of surgical mitral valve replacement in patients with significant annular calcification is very high. There are isolated reports of transcatheter mitral valve replacement with balloon-expandable valve in this patient population. In consequence, this multicenter registry tries to concentrate information and analyzes the outcomes a year after the procedure. …
Bad prognosis for post-MitraClip mitral valve stenosis: how do we proceed?
Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava The EVEREST II trial showed the MitraClip had similar mortality rate to that of surgery but, even though residual mitral valve regurgitation (MR) is associated to a strong negative impact, little is known about post MitraClip increased transvalvular gradient and its implication. 268 patients undergoing MC implantation were analyzed.…
Percutaneous Repair of Paravalvular Leaks After TAVR: The Challenge of Identifying Eligible Subjects
Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. This study enrolled 72 patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement with an Edwards Sapiens valve, and then experienced a leak of at least moderate severity. Fifteen of them underwent a percutaneous leak repair after identification of the leak mostly through the presence of symptoms. Both groups were similar. Patients who…
MitraClip: Impact of Sinus Rhythm and Heart Rate
Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. Atrial fibrillation (AF) and fast heart rate (>70 lpm) have been shown to increase the risk of mitral valve repair surgery. The MitraClip has shown benefits in high risk patients, but its relation to abnormal heart rhythm has not yet been established. 760 patients were analyzed; 315 (52.4%) presented…
