- Abstract
FUNCTIONALMITRALREGURGITATION After careful consideration of the new 2020 AHA/ACC clinical guidelines for valvular heart disease, we have found several points concerning the recommendations for using transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve (MV) repair, as a treatment in the setting of functional mitral regurgitation (FMR), with which we are totally at odds. Besides, a recently published post hoc analysis of a subgroup of patients from the MITRA-FR trial who met COAPT inclusion criteria, transcatheter edge-to-edge MV repair, failed to show superiority over optimal medical therapy.
