Mashup Score: 4OCEAN Mitral Registry: Procedural, Clinical Outcomes With Early vs. Newer Generation MitraClip TEER Systems - American College of Cardiology - 10 hour(s) ago
Newer-generation (G4) mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) systems, compared to early (G2) systems, offered a safer and more efficient procedure, with shorter procedural time, fewer mechanical complications, fewer clips and a lower postprocedural transmitral mean pressure gradient (TMPG), according to results from a study published July 15 in JACC: Asia. These outcomes contributed to reduced heart failure (HF) rehospitalization risk, particularly in degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR).
