Abstract: The present study aims to assess the clinical and hemodynamic impact of percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair with MitraClip in patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation (A-FMR) compared with ventricular functional mitral regurgitation (V-FMR). Mitral regurgitation (MR) grade, functional status (New York Heart Association class), and major adverse cardiac events (MACE; all-cause mortality or hospitalization for heart failure) were evaluated in 52 patients with A-FMR and in 307 patients with V-FMR. In 56 patients, hemodynamic assessment during exercise echocardiography was performed before and 6 months after intervention. MR reduction after MitraClip implantation was noninferior in A-FMR compared with V-FMR (MR grade <= 2 at 6 months in 94% vs 82%, respectively, p <0.001 for noninferiority) and was associated with improvement of func-tional status (New York Heart Association class <= 2 at 6 months in 90% vs 80%, respec-tively, p = 0.2). Hemodynamic assessment revealed that cardiac output at 6 months was higher in A-FMR at rest (5.1 +/- 1.5 L/min vs 3.8 +/- 1.5 L/min, p = 0.002) and during peak exercise (7.9 +/- 2.4 L/min vs 6.1 +/- 2.1 L/min, p = 0.02). In addition, the reduction in systolic pulmonary artery pressure at rest was more pronounced in A-FMR: Delta SPAP -13.1 +/- 15.1 mm Hg versus -2.2 +/- 13.3 mm Hg (p = 0.03). MACE rate at follow-up was significantly lower in A-FMR versus V-FMR, with an adjusted odds ratio of 0.46 (95% confidence inter -val 0.24 to 0.88), which was caused by a reduction in hospitalization for heart failure. In con-clusion, percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair with MitraClip is at least as effective in A-FMR as in V-FMR in reducing MR. However, the hemodynamic improvement and reduction of MACE were significantly better in A-FMR. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
