Background: Optimal reduction of mitral regurgitation (MR) in mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) improves patient outcomes and is balanced against elevated transmitral gradients (TMG). Understanding the implications of MR optimization and TMG informs procedural strategies.

Methods: One-year outcomes from the randomized CLASP IID trial (NCT03706833) were analyzed by discharge TMG ≤5 vs. >5 mmHg and discharge MR 1+ vs. 2+ in prohibitive surgical risk patients with 3+/ 4+ degenerative MR (DMR).

Results: The analysis included 284 patients divided into 4 groups, TMG 5 and MR 1+: 72.5% patients (n=206), TMG >5 and MR 1+: 11.6% (n=33), TMG 5 and MR 2+: 11.3% (n=32), and TMG >5 and MR 2+: 4.6% (n=13). Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. At 1 year, the composite rate of survival, and freedom from heart failure hospitalization or non-elective mitral valve reintervention was significantly different (P=0.011, Fig). All groups had significant reduction in LV diastolic and systolic volumes (all P<0.05 vs. baseline, and baseline adjusted inter-group P=0.193 and 0.751, respectively), and a high proportion were New York Heart Association Class I/II (range: 80.0 to 90.0%, all P<0.05 vs. baseline, inter-group P=0.443).

Conclusions: In DMR patients treated with M-TEER in the CLASP IID trial, achieving discharge MR 1+ was more impactful in improving clinical outcomes than maintaining gradients 5 mmHg, suggesting a benefit of optimizing MR over preserving lower gradients.
