Abstract
Abstract
Background
Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TMVR) is increasingly performed, however, its efficacy in comparison with surgical MV treatment (SMV) is unknown.
Methods
Consecutive patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing TMVR (68% functional, 32% degenerative) or SMV (9% functional, 91% degenerative; 23% MV replacement) were enrolled. To account for differences in baseline characteristics, propensity score-matching including age, EuroSCORE-II, left ventricular ejection fraction, and NT-proBNP was performed. A composite of heart failure (HF) hospitalization/death was defined as primary endpoint. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox-regression analyses were used to investigate associations between baseline, imaging, and procedural parameters and outcome.
Results
Between July 2017 and April 2020, 245 patients were enrolled, of which 102 patients could be adequately matched (73y/o, 61% females, EuroSCORE-II: 5.7%, p>0.05 for all). Despite matching, TMVR patients were sicker at baseline (higher rates of prior myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, pacemakers/defibrillators, and diabetes mellitus, p<0.009 for all).
Patients were followed for 28.3±27.2 months, during which 27 events (17 deaths, 10 HF hospitalizations) occurred.Postprocedural MR reduction (MR grade <2: TMVR vs. SMV: 88% vs. 94%, p=0.487) and freedom from HF hospitalization/death (log-rank: p=0.221) were similar at two years. By multivariable Cox analyses, EuroSCORE-II (adj.HR 1.07 [95% CI: 1.00–1.13], p=0.027) and postprocedural MR severity (adj.HR 1.85 [95% CI: 1.17–2.92], p=0.009) emerged as independent predictors of outcome.
Conclusions
In this propensity matched, all-comers cohort, 2-year outcomes after TMVR versus SMV were similar. Given the reported favorable long-term durability of TMVR, the interventional approach emerges as valuable alternative for a substantial number of patients with functional and degenerative MR at high/prohibitive surgical risk.

Abstract
Benign cardiac tumours are rare and cardiac lipomas account only for a small fraction among those. Most of these tumours differ in terms of clinical manifestation, diagnosis, morphology and size, and are therefore not diagnosed easily unless they become symptomatic. We report the case of a 71-year-old Caucasian woman with recurrent episodes of shortness of breath presenting with an acute exacerbation of dyspnoea and hypertensive crisis. Diagnosis of a right atrial lipoma with a coexisting patent foramen ovale was established on echocardiography and computed tomography, and the patient was evaluated for elective surgery. Comprising the entire free wall of the right atrium, the tumour was removed during open heart surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass. The right atrium and the orifices of both the superior and inferior vena cava were reconstructed with bovine pericardium. No evidence of tumour relapse was observed during successive follow-up visits.
