Article Abstract

This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the current knowledge on the prevention and treatment of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) associated with transcatheter mitral valve replacement-a novel and evolving treatment alternative for mitral regurgitation-encompassing both surgical and pharmacological interventions. LVOTO is a potentially catastrophic complication of transcatheter mitral valve replacement. Therefore, identifying patients at high risk for LVOTO and implementing a carefully tailored medical and surgical strategy are essential for optimizing perioperative management and improving patient outcomes.

Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) remains a prevalent and challenging complication in patients with heart failure (HF), associated with poor prognosis despite optimal guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and cardiac resynchronization therapy. Current American and European guidelines recommend GDMT as first-line therapy, with transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) reserved for severe symptomatic SMR patients who remain refractory. However, both guidelines preceded the reporting of pivotal randomized controlled trials (RESHAPE-HF2, MATTERHORN, and EFFORT) and emerging evidence in new clinical scenarios.

Background: Recent advances in transcatheter valvular techniques often compete with open cardiac operations in managing high-risk patients with valvular disease, especially in the elderly. The present study assesses late survival and quality of life following valvular surgery in octogenarians with prior sternotomy.

Methods: We identified octogenarians who underwent cardiac valve reoperations between 2004 and 2023.

Comparison of Outcomes of Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair With Early Versus Latest Generation MitraClip for Severe Mitral Regurgitation.

Heart Lung Circ

Department of Cardiology, The Prince Charles Hospital, Brisbane, Qld, Australia; Faculty of Health, Medicine and Behavioural Sciences, The University of Queensland, Herston, Qld, Australia.

Background: The fourth-generation MitraClip G4 system is the latest version of the transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) system for mitral regurgitation (MR).

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the MitraClip G4 in the reduction of MR compared to the early-generation MitraClip.

Method: We performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients undergoing TEER for MR with either the early-generation or newer-generation MitraClip G4 from a single-centre registry.
