Abstract

BACKGROUNDS MitraClip (MC) therapy is now established as a secure, feasible treatment option for patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) at high surgical risk. The efficacy of the percutaneous approach, especially in patients with functional disease, has been evaluated in a large number of studies, but the endpoints used to establish the success of this procedure over the surgical ones were based on unreliable, less standadizable measures.  PURPOSE This study sought to evaluate the efficacy of MC therapy in terms of new functional outcomes, comparing data related to degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) and functional mitral regurgitation (FMR).  METHODS Between October 2010 and November 2018, 100 consecutive patients with severe MR and not eligible for surgical mitral valve repair were assessed before MC implant using echocardiogram, BNP assay, cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) with non-invasive measurement of cardiac output (CO) with inert gas rebreathing technique, at baseline and after 6 months. RESULTS MC implant rate was 95%. Immediate success with reduction of MR to ≤2+ was observed in 80% of cases and 76% after 6 months. In both FMR and DMR, a significant reduction of MR from baseline was observed (p<0.001). NYHA class showed a significant improvement over six months in both groups.
