Risk of Increased Mean Diastolic Gradient After Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair: A Quantitative 3D TEE Analysis

Iatrogenic mitral stenosis is a known limitation of transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair(TMVr), but determinants of increased post-procedure mean diastolic gradient(MG) are not well defined. We sought to determine correlates of increased post-TMVr MG or aborted clip implantation due to increased MG.
