Overview
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term effects of Edge-tot-edge repair of all the patients of AmsterdamUMC, to treat their Mitral regurgitation (MR). The main question it aims to answer is:
The patient selection process could be optimized. Participants are already receiving edge-to-edge repair as part of their standard medical care and will additionally complete quality-of-life survey questions.
Description
Mitral regurgitation (MR) affects more than 10% of individuals over the age of 75, and with an aging population, its prevalence is expected to continue rising in the coming years. Treatment options include surgical repair, surgical replacement, medical therapy, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), or transcatheter valve repair. For percutaneous mitral valve repair, the transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) technique is the preferred approach. This technique involves the use of the MitraClip (Abbott) and PASCAL (Edwards) devices, which are derived from the surgical Alfieri technique.
Since 2009, the M-TEER procedure has been performed in patients who, based on assessment by the heart team and mitral valve team, are deemed unsuitable for surgery but are eligible for this percutaneous treatment.
Using data from all patients undergoing M-TEER at Amsterdam UMC, the investigators aim to conduct research focused on improving patient selection and alleviating symptoms associated with mitral valve disease.
