This study aimed to assess whether transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) positively impacts patients with cardiogenic shock and mitral regurgitation. In this touchCARDIO interview, we speak with Dr Mohamad Alkhouli (Mayo Clinic School of Medicine, Rochester, MN, USA) to discuss the TVT registry and the patient population who are the best candidates for TEER.
The abstract entitled ‘Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair in Patients With Severe Mitral Regurgitation and Cardiogenic Shock: Insights From the TVT Registry’ was presented at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference, 16 – 19, September 2022.
