Brief summary

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common valvular heart disease, affecting approximately 24.2 million people worldwide (with a higher prevalence in older age groups). Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is now a well-established strategy in high-risk patients with MR. Globally, over 250,000 patients have benefited from the TEER technique. However, no dedicated study has prospectively evaluated different antithrombotic strategies following TEER in patients undergone TEER procedure. Current guidelines do not provide any recommendations for the antithrombotic management of TEER. Consequently, considerable treatment variation exists in clinical studies and practice. The investigators will conduct a multicenter, open-label randomized trial to compare different antithrombotic strategies following TEER in patients without an indication for OAC.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
All bleeding complications at 1 year after TEER1 yearFor the classification of bleeding complications, the Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium (MVARC) Primary Bleeding Scale is used. All bleeding can be categorized into five types: minor bleeding, major bleeding, extensive bleeding, life-threatening bleeding, and fatal bleeding.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Non-procedure-related bleeding complications at 1 year after TEER(key secondary outcome 1)1 yearNon-procedure-related bleeding is consisted of all MVARC bleeding, excluding Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC ) type 4 severe bleeding.BARC type 4 severe bleeding is defined by any of the following: perioperative intracranial bleeding within 48 hours, reoperation after closure of sternotomy for the purpose of controlling bleeding, transfusion of 5 or more units of whole blood or packed red cells within a 48-hour period, chest-tube output of 2 or more liters within a 24-hour period.
Composite of ischemic event (1)(key secondary outcome 2)1 yearcomposite of all-cause mortality, stroke, systemic embolic events , or myocardial infarction at 1 year after TEER
Composite of ischemic event (2)1 yearComposite of cardiovascular mortality, ischemic stroke, systemic embolic events ,or myocardial infarction at 1 year after TEER.
Composite of ischemic and bleeding events(1)1 yearComposite of all bleeding, all-cause mortality, stroke, systemic embolic events or myocardial infarction at 1 year after TEER.
Composite of ischemic and bleeding events(2)1 yearComposite of non-procedure-related bleeding events, cardiovascular mortality, ischemic stroke, systemic embolic events or myocardial infarction at 1 year after TEER.
