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: 1. Evaluate the effectiveness and safety of TEER versus surgery in patients with DMR over long term. 2. Investigate the predictors of left ventricular dysfunction and clinical outcomes using advanced imaging techniques, such as cardiac MRI 3. 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.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Composite of all-cause mortality, heart failure hospitalization, and valve re-interventionFrom procedure to 3 years after procedureComposite of all-cause mortality, heart failure hospitalization, and valve re-intervention

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Residual Mitral Regurgitation Greater Than 2+ by Transthoracic EchocardiographyAt 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year after procedurePercentage of participants with residual mitral regurgitation greater than 2+ assessed by transthoracic echocardiography after surgical mitral valve repair or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.
Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction by Transthoracic EchocardiographyAt 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year after procedureLeft ventricular ejection fraction, measured as percentage by transthoracic echocardiography, after surgical mitral valve repair or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.
Mean Mitral Valve Gradient by Transthoracic EchocardiographyAt 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year after procedureMean transmitral valve gradient, measured in mm Hg by transthoracic echocardiography, after surgical mitral valve repair or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.
Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall Summary ScoreAt baseline and at 2 weeks, 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years after procedureKansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire overall summary score, measured on a 0 to 100 scale, will be used to assess patient-reported health status after surgical mitral valve repair or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair. Higher scores indicate better health status.
Six-Minute Walk Test DistanceAt baseline and at 2 weeks, 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years after procedureFunctional capacity will be assessed using the 6-minute walk test distance, measured in meters.
SF-36 Physical Component Summary ScoreAt baseline and at 2 weeks, 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years after procedureThe SF-36 Physical Component Summary score will be used to assess patient-reported physical health status. Scores are reported as scale scores, with higher scores indicating better physical health status.
SF-36 Mental Component Summary ScoreAt baseline and at 2 weeks, 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years after procedureThe SF-36 Mental Component Summary score will be used to assess patient-reported mental health status. Higher scores indicate better mental health status.
Percentage of Participants With All-Cause MortalityAt 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years after procedurePercentage of participants with all-cause mortality after surgical mitral valve repair or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.
Percentage of Participants With Heart Failure HospitalizationAt 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years after procedurePercentage of participants hospitalized for heart failure after surgical mitral valve repair or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.
Mitral Valve ReinterventionAt 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years after procedurePercentage of participants requiring mitral valve reintervention after surgical mitral valve repair or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.
