Mitral valve gradient changes associate with outcomes of patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is typically used to treat mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with high surgical risk. Increased post-procedural mitral valve gradient (MVG) may impact mortality and hospitalizations. We aim to evaluate and compare the absolute postprocedural MVG and the change in the MVG effect on outcomes for patients undergoing TEER therapy.
