Synopsis A clinical study demonstrates that systolic pulmonary venous (PV) flow velocity immediately increased in response to mitral regurgitation reduction during Percutaneous Mitral valve repair with the Mitra Clip . This week's ' MED FACT' discusses a clinical trial from The American Journal of Cardiology, “ Relation between Pulmonary Venous Flow and Left Atrial Pressure during Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair with the Mitra Clip ”. July, 2018. Authors : Ikenaga H; Hayashi A; Nagaura T; Yamaguchi S; Yoshida J; Rader F; Siegel RJ; Kar S; Shiota T.
Key Takeaways Systolic PV flow velocity markedly increased after Mitral valve repair with the Mitra Clip. Objective Study Type Participants To estimate the relation between pulmonary venous flow and left atrial pressure during mitral valve repair Cohort study 290 What Was The Need For This Study? Pulmonary venous flow may provide…
