Outcomes of Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair Using the MitraClip System in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation. A Meta-Analysis.
American Journal of Cardiology 2023 October 19
Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) with the MitraClip system is now approved for degenerative and functional mitral regurgitation (MR). Atrial fibrillation (AF) is commonly seen in MR. In our study, we perform a pooled analysis of the existing data to investigate the outcomes of MitraClip in patients with versus without AF. We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, Google Scholar, and SCOPUS databases through December, 2022 for studies comparing the outcomes of TMVR using the MitraClip in patients with preexisting AF versus those without AF. A meta-analysis was performed to investigate the primary outcomes of all-cause mortality and heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Secondary outcomes were cardiovascular mortality, in-hospital mortality, stroke, New York Heart Association class I or II at follow-up, length of hospital stay, and procedural time. A total of 10 studies (n = 24,111; AF = 12,789; no AF = 11,322) were included in the final analysis. Preexisting AF was associated with higher overall all-cause mortality (odds ratio 1.55, 95% confidence interval 1.32 to 1.83, p <0.0002) and higher overall HF hospitalization rate (odds ratio 1.3, 95% confidence interval 1.08 to 1.56, p <0.0154). There was no statistically significant difference in cardiovascular mortality, in-hospital mortality, stroke, length of hospital stay, procedural time, or New York Heart Association class I/II at follow-up comparing AF versus no AF. The presence of AF in patients who underwent TMVR with MitraClip is associated with higher all-cause mortality and HF hospitalization. This should be taken into consideration in the management of MR patients.
