Assessing the impact of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair on reverse remodeling in secondary mitral regurgitation: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Key Points

• Reverse remodeling is significantly improved after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for secondary mitral regurgitation, leading to better heart function.
• The analysis reviews data from multiple studies, reporting a notable improvement with a mean difference of 35.8% in cardiac function measures.
• Observational analysis across various populations shows consistent positive outcomes following the intervention, enhancing heart geometry and function.
• This data highlights the intervention's potential to improve patient outcomes, but also suggests a need for further long-term studies.
