Acute reverse annular remodeling during MitraClip® therapy predicts improved clinical outcome in heart failure patients: a 3D echocardiography study

Abstract Background Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) has been shown to have acute effects on mitral valve geometry in patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR). This study investigates the impact of MitraClip® therapy-induced annular remodeling on clinical outcome and mitral regurg...
