Why the study?
Limited data are available regarding the impact of baseline renal impairment after M-TEER in Asian-Pacific patients with heart failure and severe mitral regurgitation.
Does baseline renal impairment or dialysis worsen clinical outcomes in Asian-Pacific patients with heart failure and severe mitral regurgitation undergoing M-TEER?

Yes
Does baseline renal impairment or dialysis worsen clinical outcomes in Asian-Pacific patients with heart failure and severe mitral regurgitation undergoing M-TEER?
Effect estimate: HR 1.95 (95% CI 1.33-2.85)
Absolute Event Rate: 50.9% vs 74.2%
p-value: p=<0.001
Baseline renal impairment, particularly dialysis, is a strong independent predictor of poor clinical outcomes including death and heart failure hospitalization after M-TEER in Asian-Pacific patients.
Dialysis independently predicts higher MACE after M-TEER; hypothesis-generating for renal optimization trials in this population.
BACKGROUND: Renal impairment is associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Some studies have revealed the impact of renal impairment on the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER). However, limited data are available regarding the impact of baseline renal impairment after M-TEER in Asian-Pacific patients with heart failure and severe mitral regurgitation. OBJECTIVES: This study sought to examine the effect of renal impairment on clinical outcomes after M-TEER using a large-scale nationwide registry in Japan. METHODS: ) (n = 1,746), and dialysis (n = 113). The impact of renal impairment and dialysis on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (a composite of all-cause death and hospitalization for heart failure) was examined. RESULTS: Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the renal impairment and dialysis groups had a significantly higher incidence of MACE (survival rates at 2 years: normal eGFR, 74.2% [95% CI: 66.9%-80.1%] vs renal impairment, 63.9% [95% CI: 61.0%-66.6%] vs dialysis, 50.9% [95% CI: 38.2%-62.2%]; P < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified dialysis as the strongest independent predictor of MACE (HR: 1.95; 95% CI: 1.33-2.85; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Renal impairment was associated with an increased incidence of major adverse events, and dialysis was the strongest independent predictor of poor clinical outcomes after M-TEER in Asian-Pacific patients.

Tanaka et al. (2025) conducted a cohort in Heart failure and severe mitral regurgitation. Renal impairment and dialysis vs. Normal eGFR was evaluated on Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (a composite of all-cause death and hospitalization for heart failure) (HR 1.95, 95% CI 1.33-2.85, p=<0.001).
