Outcomes of edge-to-edge mitral valve repair in patients with mitral regurgitation evaluated for heart transplantation

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the outcomes of edge-to-edge mitral valve repair in patients with significant mitral regurgitation who are considered for heart transplantation.
• Retrospective analysis of patients who underwent edge-to-edge mitral valve repair.
• Assessment of mitral regurgitation severity before and after the procedure.
• Evaluation of cardiac function and transplantation outcomes.
• Significant improvement in mitral regurgitation severity post-surgery.
• Enhanced cardiac function observed in most patients after the repair.
• A portion of patients were successfully listed for heart transplantation after the procedure.
