Clinical, Functional, and Quality‐of‐Life Outcomes After Contemporary Transcatheter Edge‐to‐Edge Repair for Primary Mitral Regurgitation in the Very Elderly

Although 1-year mortality was higher among the very elderly, mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair using next-generation devices was associated with low complication rates and substantial improvements in ventricular remodeling, functional status, and quality of life across age groups. These findings support the use of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in appropriately selected elderly patients and suggest that age alone should not be a barrier to treatment.
