- M-TEER can be performed safely in patients who are potentially favorable candidates for LVAD therapy, with a high procedural success rate of 96%.
- The 1-year rate of cardiovascular death after M-TEER in these candidates was 10.1%, increasing to 38.9% at 3 years.
- An enlarged left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was an independent risk factor for cardiovascular death following M-TEER in this group.
- In patients with markedly enlarged left ventricles, symptom improvement was limited and reverse remodeling was not achieved post-M-TEER.
- Long-term efficacy of M-TEER appears limited in potentially favorable LVAD candidates, especially those with advanced left ventricular remodeling.
