Article Synopsis
- A study in Germany compared two treatments for heart failure patients with secondary mitral regurgitation: transcatheter edge-to-edge repair and surgical mitral-valve repair or replacement.
- The trial involved 210 patients and assessed outcomes like death, hospitalizations, and major adverse events, finding that transcatheter repair had similar efficacy but significantly fewer safety issues than surgery.
- Results showed that transcatheter edge-to-edge repair was noninferior to the surgical approach, indicating it might be a safer alternative for this patient group.
