Abstract
Mean MVPG during MitraClip implantation measured by TEE underestimates the hemodynamics in daily life, of which operators should be aware when deciding on placing one or more clips. Pressure half-time seems to be the most robust parameter compared with mean and maximum MVPG and may contribute to this decision. Patients with higher mean MVPGs after MitraClip implantation have higher sPAPs at follow-up. However, more symptoms of heart failure were not detected at follow-up.
