Echocardiographic analysis of acute effects of percutaneous mitral annuloplasty on severity of secondary mitral regurgitation ⁴

30 patients with symptomatic moderate or severe SMR [FMR] were assessed for the acute effects of Carillon therapy by advanced echocardiography 1 day prior to procedure and at discharge.
Treatment of SMR [FMR] with the Carillon device leads to acute reduction of MR severity in 83% of patients after the procedure.

- Both PISA based measurements of regurgitant volume as well as measurements derived from regurgitant fraction were significantly improved (p<0.05) after the procedure.
Effective [forward] stroke volume was significantly improved (p<0.001) and ejection fraction was non-significantly improved (p = 0.06) immediately after the intervention.
