Article Synopsis
- The study examined 1-year outcomes of the PASCAL system for treating severe mitral regurgitation (MR) among 282 patients with various etiologies of MR (degenerative, functional, or mixed) across multiple centers in Germany.
- Results showed significant reductions in MR immediately after the procedure, at 30 days, and sustained improvements at 1 year, with variations based on the specific cause of MR.
- Patients with degenerative MR had less pronounced MR reduction and a higher rate of complex valve morphology, indicating more challenging cases, while overall, there was notable improvement in heart function across all types of MR.
Background: In addition to the edge-to-edge MitraClip repair system, the edge-to-spacer PASCAL repair system was approved for percutaneous treatment of severe mitral regurgitation (MR). Comparative data are lacking.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare procedural and short-term safety and efficacy of 2 leaflet-based transcatheter mitral valve repair systems.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the procedural and short-term safety and efficacy of a new leaflet-based transcatheter mitral valve repair system.
Background: The PASCAL repair system has been recently approved for percutaneous treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR). Novel characteristics are broad paddles positioned around a central spacer and the ability for independent leaflet capture.
