Key result
Salvage TEER for post-MI papillary muscle rupture achieves ~87% procedural success.
Why the study?
Acute MR resulting from post-MI papillary muscle rupture carries high morbidity and mortality, prompting evaluation of the feasibility of TEER in this acute setting.
Is transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) feasible and effective as a salvage procedure in patients with post-MI papillary muscle rupture?
Observational (n=23)
Yes
Is transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) feasible and effective as a salvage procedure in patients with post-MI papillary muscle rupture?
TEER is a feasible salvage therapy or bridge to surgery for critically ill patients with papillary muscle rupture complicating acute MI.

May support TEER as salvage in post-MI papillary muscle rupture; leaves open need for prospective trials.
Haberman et al. (2024) conducted an observational in Acute mitral regurgitation with papillary muscle rupture complicating acute myocardial infarction (n=23). Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) was evaluated on Procedural success. Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair as a salvage procedure in post-MI papillary muscle rupture achieved procedural success in 87% of patients, with 70% surviving to hospital discharge.
