About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to compare the outcomes of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) versus surgical mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) over the long term. The study aims to:

1. Evaluate the effectiveness and safety of TEER versus surgery in patients with DMR over long term. 2. Investigate the predictors of left ventricular dysfunction and clinical outcomes using advanced imaging techniques, such as cardiac MRI 3. Assess patient-reported recovery and quality of life outcomes using validated tools.

The study focuses on improving care strategies for patients with DMR, particularly those at higher surgical risk, by identifying optimal treatment approaches and predictors of recovery.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients older than 60 years who have DMR will be included in the study

Disqualifiers

Patients with prior history of mitral intervention or surgery will be excluded.

Patient records flagged "break the glass" or "research opt out" will be excluded.

Persons with allergy to animal dander or animal-instigated asthma will be excluded.

Trial population

The study population includes adult patients with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) who underwent either surgical mitral valve repair or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Composite of all-cause mortality, heart failure hospitalization, and valve re-intervention

Composite of all-cause mortality, heart failure hospitalization, and valve re-intervention

Time frame
From procedure to 3 years after procedure

Secondary outcomes

1

Percentage of Participants With Residual Mitral Regurgitation Greater Than 2+ by Transthoracic Echocardiography

Percentage of participants with residual mitral regurgitation greater than 2+ assessed by transthoracic echocardiography after surgical mitral valve repair or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.

Time frame
At 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year after procedure
2

Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction by Transthoracic Echocardiography

Left ventricular ejection fraction, measured as percentage by transthoracic echocardiography, after surgical mitral valve repair or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.

Time frame
At 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year after procedure
3

Mean Mitral Valve Gradient by Transthoracic Echocardiography

Mean transmitral valve gradient, measured in mm Hg by transthoracic echocardiography, after surgical mitral valve repair or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.

Time frame
At 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year after procedure
4

Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall Summary Score

Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire overall summary score, measured on a 0 to 100 scale, will be used to assess patient-reported health status after surgical mitral valve repair or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair. Higher scores indicate better health status.

Time frame
At baseline and at 2 weeks, 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years after procedure

Other outcomes

1

Percentage of Participants With One or More Major Periprocedural or 30-Day Complications

Percentage of participants with one or more major periprocedural or 30-day complications after surgical mitral valve repair or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair. Major complications include coronary obstruction, cardiac tamponade, new left bundle branch block, major bleeding, stroke or transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, acute kidney injury, new-onset atrial fibrillation, infection or sepsis, permanent pacemaker implantation, or conversion to open surgery.

Time frame
From start of procedure to 30 days after procedure
2

Correlation Between Baseline CMR-Derived Extracellular Volume and 6-Month Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

Correlation between baseline myocardial extracellular volume, measured as percentage extracellular volume by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, and left ventricular ejection fraction, measured as percentage by transthoracic echocardiography at 6 months after procedure.

Time frame
From baseline CMR to 6 months after procedure
3

Difference in 6-Month Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction by Baseline Late Gadolinium Enhancement Presence

Difference in 6-month left ventricular ejection fraction, measured as percentage by transthoracic echocardiography, between participants with and without baseline late gadolinium enhancement on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.

Time frame
From baseline CMR to 6 months after procedure
4

Correlation Between Baseline CMR-Derived Extracellular Volume and 6-Month Left Ventricular End-Systolic Volume Index

Correlation between baseline myocardial extracellular volume, measured as percentage extracellular volume by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, and left ventricular end-systolic volume index, measured in mL/m² by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging at 6 months after procedure.

Time frame
From baseline CMR to 6 months after procedure
