Key result
Obesity shows no association with short-term in-hospital outcomes after MitraClip transcatheter mitral valve repair.
Why the study?
Studies on patients with elevated BMI undergoing cardiac interventions have produced mixed results, prompting an evaluation of obesity's impact on in-hospital outcomes after transcatheter mitral valve repair using MitraClip.
Does obesity impact in-hospital mortality and periprocedural complications in patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve repair using MitraClip?
Cohort (n=40,950)
Yes
Does obesity impact in-hospital mortality and periprocedural complications in patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve repair using MitraClip?
Obesity does not appear to negatively impact short-term in-hospital outcomes for patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve repair with MitraClip.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Should not yet alter MitraClip selection by obesity status; leaves open longer-term prognostic implications.

Shamaki et al. (2023) conducted a cohort in Transcatheter mitral valve repair (n=40,950). Obesity (BMI ≥ 30 Kg/m2) vs. Non-obese (BMI 18.5-29.9 Kg/m2) was evaluated on Prevalence of obesity and in-hospital mortality. Obesity did not influence short-term in-hospital outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve repair using MitraClip.
