Study Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to compare the outcomes of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) versus surgical mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) over the long term. The study aims to:
- Evaluate the effectiveness and safety of TEER versus surgery in patients with DMR over long term.
- Investigate the predictors of left ventricular dysfunction and clinical outcomes using advanced imaging techniques, such as cardiac MRI
- Assess patient-reported recovery and quality of life outcomes using validated tools.
The study focuses on improving care strategies for patients with DMR, particularly those at higher surgical risk, by identifying optimal treatment approaches and predictors of recovery.
Detailed Description
This is an ambispective, (prospective and retrospective) cohort study collecting clinical, procedural, and follow-up data to compare the outcomes of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) versus surgical mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) over the long term.
