he EVEREST II study enrolled patients with grades 3 to 4+ MR and a surgical mortality risk ≥ 12% based on the Society of Thoracic Surgeons risk calculator or the estimate of a surgeon coinvestigator after prespecified protocol criteria.
MitraClip significantly reduced MR, improved clinical symptoms, and decreased left ventricular (LV) dimensions at 12 months in this high-surgical-risk cohort, concluded the EVEREST II investigators in JACC.
