Comparison of transcatheter edge-to-edge and surgical repair in patients with functional mitral regurgitation using a meta-analytic approach

Abstract

Despite considerably higher age and comorbidity burden, in-hospital mortality was significantly lower in FMR patients treated with TEER, whereas a tendency toward increased 1-year mortality was observed in this high-risk population. In terms of functional status and MR grade reduction, comparable 1-year results were achieved.
