Just published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology 🇨🇦: In a single-center, 967-patient sample of first-time, isolated mitral TEER procedures performed between 2013 and 2021, individuals aged above (n=103, 10.7%) and under 90 years experienced similarly high technical success rates and comparable improvement in MR severity and functional capacity as well as survival and heart failure hospitalizations along the first postprocedural year. This was also demonstrated in a 204-case, 1:1 propensity score matched sub-cohort. Our results reflect the apparent feasibility, safety, and efficacy of mitral TEER in the ever-growing, yet constantly under-represented nonagenarian population.
