Impact of pulmonary hypertension on outcomes after TEER in patients suffering from mitral regurgitation

CONCLUSION: PAWP at baseline was significantly and independently associated with HFH and might serve as a valuable parameter for identifying patients at high risk for HFH after M-TEER. ACM and procedural success were not affected by pulmonary arterial pressure before M-TEER. We suggest that the post-capillary component of PH serves as the driving force behind the risk of HFH.PMID:38565712 | DOI:10.1007/s00392-024-02442-1
