Heart team approach in treatment of mitral regurgitation: patient selection and outcome

Figures

  Figure 1. Decision-making algorithm of the heart team compared with estimated and experienced in-hospital mortality. MDT, multidisciplinary heart team; MR, mitral regurgitation; MV, mitral valve; MVR, surgical MV replacement.

• 

  Figure 2. Long-term all-cause mortality and combined end points of the overall cohort (A and B), of Mitraclip patients according to the mitral regurgitation (MR) aetiology (C and D), and of patients with a primary MR who received an isolated repair, either by Mitraclip or surgically (E and F).

• 

  Figure 3. Subgroup analysis to evaluate whether MVrepair or Mitraclip may be better for patients with isolated, primary MR. GFR, glomerular filtration rate; LAVI, left atrial volume index; LVEDVi, left ventricular end diastolic volume index; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; MC, Mitraclip; MV, mitral valve; MVrepair, surgical mitral valve repair; RV/RA, rightventricular/right atrial.
