Key result
Percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair is increasingly used in high-risk patients, with observational studies identifying several mortality predictors to help optimize patient selection.
Why the study?
What are the mortality rates and predictors of mortality in patients undergoing percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair?

This review summarizes current evidence on mortality and its predictors following percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair, aiding in optimal patient selection.
Percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve (MV) repair is a relatively new treatment option for mitral regurgitation (MR). After the feasibility and safety having been proved in low-surgical-risk patients, the use of this procedure has shifted more to the treatment of high-risk patients. With the absence of randomized controlled trials (RCT) for this particular subgroup, observational studies try to add evidence to the safety aspect of this procedure. These also provide short- and mid-term mortality figures. Several mortality predictors have been identified, which may help the optimal selection of patients who will benefit most from this technique. In this article we provide an overview of the literature about mortality and its predictors in patients treated with the percutaneous edge-to-edge device.

Kortlandt et al. (2016) conducted a review in Mitral regurgitation. Percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair was evaluated on Mortality and its predictors. Percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair is increasingly used in high-risk patients, with observational studies identifying several mortality predictors to help optimize patient selection.
