ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Patients with significant mitralregurgitation (MR) often experience atrial fibrillation (AF). The effects of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for MR on AF burden is unknown.METHODS:
Patients who underwent TEER atthree institutions who also had a cardiac implantable electronic device with aright atrial lead were retrospectively identified. In patients with baseline AF, device data onAF burden and echocardiographic changes were recorded at baseline and 3- and 12-month follow up time points when available. Data is expressed as number (%) and median (interquartile range), withpaired values analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.RESULTS:
Overall 66 patients wereidentified, of whom 54 (82%) had baseline data on AF available for review. Of these, 18 (33%) had a baseline burden ofAF (median burden 100% [54-100%]). Patients were 77 (71-83) years old, 10 (56%) male, 14 (78%) White, and 3 (17%) Black. A significant reduction in AF burdenwas observed at 3 months (11 patients, p = 0.03) which did not retainsignificance at 12 months (8 patients, p = 0.69). Indexed maximal left atrial volumes did not significantly change inthose with paired studies available (p > 0.35 for both time points).CONCLUSIONS:
In this multicenter cohort, one thirdof patients with severe MR undergoing TEER had an AF burden at baseline, whichwas found to be significantly lower at 3 month follow up. Further investigation is needed to confirm thefindings of this small cohort and determine its effects on downstream sequelaeof AF.Palavras-chave
