  • Abstract

    Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) of the mitral valve with MitraClip therapy is an emerging treatment in selected patients with severe mitral regurgitation. Identifying the patient with increased risk of poorer outcomes, including mortality, is crucial in these patients. Recent studies suggested conflicting data regarding the effects of gender on outcome in this patient population. We evaluate the impact of gender on the outcome of patients undergoing MitraClip therapy by systematic review and meta-analysis.
