Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in the very elderly was associated with low complication rates and improved ventricular remodeling, functional status, and quality of life.
Does mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair improve clinical, functional, and quality-of-life outcomes in very elderly patients with primary mitral regurgitation?
Very elderly patients with primary mitral regurgitation
Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) using next-generation devices
Other age groups (implied by comparison across age groups)
1-year mortality, complication rates, ventricular remodeling, functional status, and quality of life
Mitral TEER provides significant functional and quality-of-life benefits with low complication rates in very elderly patients, indicating age alone should not be a contraindication.
Although 1-year mortality was higher among the very elderly, mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair using next-generation devices was associated with low complication rates and substantial improvements in ventricular remodeling, functional status, and quality of life across age groups. These findings support the use of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in appropriately selected elderly patients and suggest that age alone should not be a barrier to treatment.
