Does transcatheter mitral-valve repair improve clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure who have mitral regurgitation due to left ventricular dysfunction?
Transcatheter mitral-valve repair is proposed as a potential treatment to improve clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure and secondary mitral regurgitation.
Among patients with heart failure who have mitral regurgitation due to left ventricular dysfunction, the prognosis is poor. Transcatheter mitral-valve repair may improve their clinical outcomes.
