Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abood, Z., Allaqaband, S., Galazka, P., Tunink, K., Sokhal, B., Hommeida, M., Bajwa, T., & Jan, M. F. Abstract 4143119: National Inpatient Mortality Trend of Mitral Valve Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease on Dialysis. Presented at Abstracts From the American Heart Association's 2024 Scientific Sessions and the American Heart Association's 2024 Resuscitation Science Symposium, November 12 2024

Background: Mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) is performed for high-risk patients with severe mitral regurgitation and multiple comorbidities. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is one poor prognostic factor in M-TEER. However, real...
