Abstract:Background: The impact of the increased mitral gradient (MG) on outcomes
is ambiguous. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate a) periinterventional
dynamics of MG, b) the impact of intraprocedural MG on clinical
outcomes, and c) predictors for unfavourable MG values after MitraClip.
Methods: We prospectively included patients undergoing MitraClip. All
patients underwent echocardiography at baseline, intraprocedurally, at
discharge, and after six months. 12-month survival was reassessed.
Results: 175 patients (age 81.… Show more
