Current guidelines offer limited guidance on the optimal timing of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) in degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR). We evaluated whether the interval between diagnosis of DMR with heart failure (HF) and M-TEER was associated with clinical outcomes. We analyzed 1,061 patients...

BACKGROUND
Patients with extremely small aortic annuli are at increased risk of residual gradients and prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Comparative data on contemporary valve platforms in this subset remain limited.
OBJECTIVES
The authors aimed to compare early cl...

Background Patients with functional mitral regurgitation (MR) and very severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction (LV ejection fraction [LVEF] <20%) have been largely excluded from randomized trials of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER), leaving a substantial knowledge gap regarding the role of M-TEER in t...
