Why the study?
While novel devices allow treatment of complex anatomies in severe MR, the question of superiority between different systems remains unanswered.
Does the MitraClip XTR system compared to the NTR system improve efficacy or safety in patients with severe mitral regurgitation?
Does the MitraClip XTR system compared to the NTR system improve efficacy or safety in patients with severe mitral regurgitation?
While MitraClip XTR and NTR systems offer comparable efficacy in reducing severe mitral regurgitation, the XTR system is associated with a higher risk of acute leaflet injury.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
XTR may increase leaflet injury risk versus NTR despite similar MR reduction; leaves open optimal device selection in severe mitral regurgitation.
Doldi et al. (2021) studied this question.
