If MitraClip Fails 95 Percent of Patients Will Need Surgical Valve Replacement
Cardiac surgeons say mitral regurgitation patients need to be better screened and counseled before getting a transcatheter repair
If MitraClip fails and a surgical repair is required, a late-breaking study presented at the 2021 AATS meeting showed 95 percent of patients will require a full surgical valve replacement.
May 4, 2021 – A new study, presented at the 2021 American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) 101st annual meeting, and simultaneously published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), finds that patients suffering from severe mitral regurgitation should be carefully screened and counseled before undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral repair (TEER).[1] Data showed that up to 95 percent of patients who needed surgery after failed TEER could not have their valves repaired, and needed a full surgical mitral valve replacement to resolve the issue.

KOCHI: Last week, the Department of Cardiac Surgery at the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) had to be temporarily shut down, after as many as seven patients admitted for surgery tested Covid-19 positive. The severity of the situation can be highlighted by the fact that patients who have undergone surgery are highly prone to contagious diseases, including Covid, as their immunity level is likely to be low.
In a bid to reduce the chances of further spread among patients admitted to surgical intensive care units in various hospitals, Kochi-based startup Asimov Robotics has stepped in to save the day with their ‘Sevabot’ a robot that can transport medicines and consumables to and from the ICUs, thus reducing human interaction in the critical care unit. The product is an advanced version of Karmibot, the humanoid developed by Asimov to reduce human role in Covid wards.
