Abstract

The role of percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVr) in management of high-risk patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is undeter-mined. We screened all patients who underwent PMVr between October 2015 and March 2020. We evaluated immediate, 30-day, and 1-year outcomes in patients who underwent PMVr during hospitalization due to ADHF as compared to elective patients. From a cohort of 237 patients, we identified 46 patients (19.4%) with severe MR of either functional or degenerative etiology who underwent PMVr during index hospitalization due to ADHF, including 17 (37%) critically ill patients. Patients’ mean age was 75.2 ± 9.8 years, 56% were males. There were no differences in background history between ADHF and elective patients. Patients with ADHF were at higher risk for surgery, reflected in higher mean EuroSCORE II, compared with elective patients. After PMVr, we observed higher 30-day mortality rate in ADHF patients as compared to the elective group (10.9% vs. 3.1%, respectively, p = 0.042). One-year mortality rate was similar between the groups (21.7% vs. 17.9%, p = 0.493). Clinical and echocardiographic follow-up showed improvement of NYHA functional class and sPAP reduction in both groups ((54 ± 15 mmHg to 50 ±15 in the elective group (p = 0.02), 58 ± 13 mmHg to 52 ± 12 in the ADHF group (p = 0.02)). PMVr could be an alternative option for treatment of patients with severe MR and ADHF.
