Mitral Repair Mortality Insights

  • Mortality after mitral transcatheter edge-to-repair varies with patient health, left ventricular function, and procedural success.
  • Use of guideline-directed medical therapy at the time of valve repair significantly impacts survival.

  • Common non-cardiac causes include pulmonary infections and stroke, reflecting patients' older age and comorbidities.
