Structured PICO
Does percutaneous repair improve safety and clinical outcomes compared to conventional surgery in patients with mitral regurgitation?
P
Population
Patients with mitral regurgitation
I
Intervention
Percutaneous repair
C
Comparator
Conventional surgery
O
Outcome
Reduction of mitral regurgitation, safety, and clinical outcomes
Percutaneous mitral valve repair provides superior safety and similar clinical outcomes compared to conventional surgery, despite being less effective at reducing mitral regurgitation.
Abstract
Although percutaneous repair was less effective at reducing mitral regurgitation than conventional surgery, the procedure was associated with superior safety and similar improvements in clinical outcomes. (Funded by Abbott Vascular; EVEREST II ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00209274.).
