Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery after failed transcatheter mitral valve repair in an intermediate-risk cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Although clinical experience with transcatheter mitral valve interventions is rapidly increasing, there is still a lack of evidence regarding surgical treatment options for the management of recurrent mitral regurgitation (MR). This study provides guidance for a minimally invasive surgical approach following failed transcatheter mitral valve repair, which is based on the underlying mitral valve (MV) pathology and the type of intervention.

Methods

A total of 46 patients who underwent minimally invasive MV surgery due to recurrent or residual MR after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair or direct interventional annuloplasty between October 2014 and March 2021 were included.

Results

The median age of the patients was 78 [interquartile range, 71-82] years and the
