Evaluation of three-dimensional right ventricular function and reverse remodelling in patients undergoing percutaneous mitral valve repair for functional mitral regurgitation: insights from a multicentre Italian registry

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate right ventricular function and reverse remodelling in patients after mitral valve repair for functional mitral regurgitation.
• Multicentre registry of patients undergoing percutaneous mitral valve repair.
• Assessment of right ventricular function using three-dimensional techniques.
• Follow-up for mid-term survival outcomes after the procedure.
• RVD was prevalent among patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR).
• Patients with pre-procedural RVD had worse mid-term survival compared to those without.
