There is uncertainty in terms of the superiority of conventional valve surgery or percutaneous transcatheter intervention for the treatment of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) in high risk patients. The post procedural haemodynamics of the different treatment options in those at high surgical risk is poorly understood. This study seeks to characterise the physiological changes and functional outcomes of patients undergoing either surgery or transcatheter intervention.
This is a single-group, prospective, multicenter clinical research using the single-arm objective performance criteria. Patients with moderate to severe mitral regurgitation and a high surgical risk will be treated with ValveClasp®, a novel transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair system. The subjects will be followed postoperatively, before discharge, for one month, six months, and twelve months. immediately following operation, before discharge, and at 1, 6, and 12 months after surgery, with follow-up at 2, 3, 4, and 5 years. The follow-ups began immediately before discharge and continued for one month, six months, and twelve months after surgery, with extensions to two, three, four, and five years.
Prospective, single-arm, observational study with invasive coronary physiology measurements before and after transcatheter left-sided valvular intervention.
Rationale: Patients with mitral valve insufficiency suffer from left atrial remodeling. Atrial fibrosis is part of this remodeling process. The presence of atrial fibrosis is associated with adverse events. Currently, mitral valve repair surgery is the ultimate treatment for severe primary mitral valve insufficiency. The main indications and timing for surgery are severe mitral valve insufficiency with symptoms or left ventricular dysfunction. However, the role of atrial fibrosis in this process remains undetermined despite its well-recognized clinical implications. Characterization of atrial fibrosis patterns in mitral valve insufficiency patients might be potentially valuable for the indication and timing of mitral valve repair surgery in order to improve clinical outcomes. To date, however, mitral valve insufficiency patients suffering from left atrial remodeling have hardly been studied using these new imaging techniques. Therefore, the investigators intend to combine advanced cardiac MRI and post-processing techniques prior to and after mitral valve repair surgery to gain more insight in the clinical implications of atrial fibrosis in this patient population. It is hypothesized that the atrial fibrosis surface area paradoxically will increase after mitral valve surgery because of global shrinkage of the left atrium caused by the reversed remodeling process. As a consequence, more frequently atrial fibrosis related events including (paroxysmal) atrial fibrillation, may be observed in these patients. Objective: To assess the effects of (reduced) volume overload on the left atrial wall texture (presence, amount and location of atrial fibrosis) and associated geometry and function in patients with mitral valve insufficiency, prior to and after mitral valve repair surgery. Study design: Single center pilot study. Study population: The research population consists of mitral valve insufficiency patients scheduled for elective surgical mitral valve repair (N=20) according to the current European guideline criteria.
This multinational, non-interventional, investigator-initiated, retrospective study aims to investigate outcomes of patients, who underwent mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) for primary mitral regurgitation (PMR).
Little is known regarding the impact of transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair (TEER) on the acute changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the effect of an acute reduction in LVEF, the so-called "afterload mismatch" (AM), on prognosis. We thereby aim to assess changes in LVEF after TEER, identify rate and predictors AM, and estimate its impact on prognosis.
The transcatheter edge to edge mitral valve repair (TEER) and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) are the interventional cardiology procedures that require periprocedural anticoagulation with unfractionated heparin (UFH). The UFH is administered either before or immediately after transseptal puncture, at the discretion of the operator The aim of the study is to establish the optimal timing of initiation of periprocedural anticoagulation in patients undergoing structural heart interventions requiring transseptal puncture (TEER and LAAC), Patients who undergo TEER implantation or LAAC procedure will be randomized to two groups: 1. Early UFH administration. The iv. bolus of UFH (100Units/kg) will be given after obtained femoral vein access and at least 5 minutes prior to the start of the TSP. 2. Late UFH administration. The iv. bolus of UFH (100Units/kg) will be given immediately after TSP, defined as the introduction of transseptal sheath into the left atrium.
Mitral regurgitation may be seen in the setting of cardiogenic shock. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has been shown to improve outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure. Observational studies suggest improvements in clinical outcomes in patients with mitral regurgitation in the setting of cardiogenic shock; however, there remains a lack of randomized clinical data to support the use of TEER in cardiogenic shock. This study will be a multicenter, open-label, randomized-controlled trial with two study arms: medical therapy and TEER. Patients admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU), Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit (CSICU) or Intensive Care Units (ICU) at participating centers will be recruited. The study aims to answer the question: "Does TEER in patients with SCAI stage C or D cardiogenic with concomitant moderate or greater mitral regurgitation improve outcomes as compared to medical therapy?" The study hypothesis is that TEER will lead to an overall improvement in the composite outcome as compared to the medical therapy arm.
MITRADVANCE-HF is a prospective, randomized, parallel-controlled, open-label, multicentre study trial enrolling patients with SMR and advanced HF on maximally tolerated standard of care therapies for HF according to the most recent guidelines. Enrolled patients will be randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to a device arm consisting of MitraClip therapy added to optimal medical therapy (OMT) or a control arm of OMT alone. Approximately 20 Italian high-volume centres will be involved. Enrolment duration will be of 24 months. Follow-up visit will be performed at 3, 6, and 12 months. Primary end-point was the absolute change in overall KCCQ summary score (KCCQ-OS) from baseline to 3 months follow-up.
