PG - 715-725 LID - S1936-878X(20)30620-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jcmg.2020.05.042 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the impact of proportionality of secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) in a large real-world registry of transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TMVr) BACKGROUND: Differences in the outcomes of recent randomized trials of TMVr for SMR may be explained by the proportionality of SMR severity to left ventricular (LV) volume. METHODS: The ratio of pre-procedural effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA) to LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) was retrospectively assessed in patients undergoing TMVr for severe SMR between 2008 and 2019 from the EuroSMR registry. A recently proposed SMR proportionality scheme was adapted to stratify patients according to EROA/LVEDV ratio in 3 groups: MR-dominant (MD), MR-LV-co-dominant (MLCD), and LV-dominant (LD). All-cause mortality was assessed as a primary outcome, secondary heart failure (HF) outcomes included hospitalization for HF (HHF), New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), 6-min-walk distance, quality of life and MR grade. RESULTS: A total of 1,016 patients with an EROA/LVEDV ratio were followed for 22 months after TMVr. MR was reduced to grade
