Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients Eligible for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair: Prognostic Impact and Clinical Implications
2019
Purpose of review
Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TMVr) has been increasingly used in the treatment of patients with severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation who are at high or prohibitive risk for surgical intervention. Pre-existing pulmonary hypertension is known to pertain worse prognosis for patients who are undergoing surgical intervention. The aim of this review is to discuss the current literature on the effects of pulmonary hypertension on the transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair outcomes.
