Complications of the Percutaneous Mitral Valve Edge-To-Edge Repair: Role of Transesophageal Echocardiography. J Clin Med. 2022 Aug 14;11(16):4742077-0383http://hdl.handle.net/10668/21334The use of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for the treatment of mitral regurgitation has markedly increased in the last few years. The rate of adverse events related to the procedure is low; however, some of the complications that may occur are potentially dangerous. Due to the growing popularity of the technique, which is no longer limited to high-volume centers, knowledge of the complications related to the procedure is fundamental. Transesophageal echocardiography has a key role in the guidance of the intervention while allowing for the avoidance of most of these adverse events, as well as enabling us to diagnose them early. In this article, we review the main complications that might present during a transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair procedure (tamponade, thromboembolic events, single leaflet device attachment, device embolization, vascular injury…) while highlighting key aspects of transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring in the prevention and prompt diagnosis of these complications.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ComplicationsEdge-to-edge repairMitral regurgitationMitral valve insufficiencyEchocardiography, transesophagealVascular system injuriesEmbolization, therapeuticVascular surgical proceduresThromboembolismresearch article36012985open accessEcocardiografía transesofágicaEmbolización terapéuticaInsuficiencia de la válvula mitralLesiones del sistema vascularProcedimientos quirúrgicos vascularesTromboembolia10.3390/jcm11164747PMC9410310https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/11/16/4747/pdf?version=1660613112https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9410310/pdf
