Key result
Mitral valve surgery successfully rescues 2 cases following failed TEER.
Why the study?
Recurrent or residual mitral regurgitation after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair poses an increasingly common challenge, with national surgical repair rates under 5%.

May support surgical repair after failed TEER in select cases; leaves open optimal selection and durability.
Recurrent or residual mitral regurgitation (MR) after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) poses an increasingly common challenge, with national surgical repair rates <5%.1-3 We report our institutional experience of mitral surgery following failed TEER and highlight 2 cases of successful repair (Video 1). This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, with a waiver of informed consent (protocol ID: STUDY00001188; approval date February 19, 2021).

Malas et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Recurrent or residual mitral regurgitation after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair. Mitral valve surgery was evaluated. Mitral valve surgery following failed transcatheter edge-to-edge repair was successfully performed in 2 highlighted cases.
