This is filed to report patient death.This research article was a retrospective study designed to evaluate preprocedural parameters associated with residual mitral regurgitation (mr) after mitraclip implantation by using multidetector computed tomography (mdct), identify optimal cut-off values and assess the impact on outcomes.Complications observed during the study period include death, recurrent mitral regurgitation, heart failure, re-intervention, mitral valve replacement and hospitalization.In conclusion, in patients with secondary mr undergoing the mitraclip procedure, preprocedural mdct parameters, specifically mitral valve orifice area (mvoa)/mitral annulus area (maa) ratio and mitral leaflet calcification (mlc), are useful to predict postprocedural residual mr.Details are listed in the attached article titled, "usefulness of computed tomography to predict residual mitral regurgitation after transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair".No additional information was provided.
