NEW 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Heart Failure Guideline

Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER):Once Again Upgraded for SMR patients

DOWNLOAD 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA HF POCKET GUIDE

Ɨ Secondary MR patients despite optimal GDMT.

In April 2022, the American Heart Association (AHA), American College of Cardiology (ACC) and Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) formally updated their clinical practice guideline1 for the management of patients with heart failure.

Key highlights regarding TEER include:

TEER has been strengthened to a Class 2a recommendation for COAPT-like* Secondary MR Patients, reinforcing the 2020 Valvular Heart Disease Guideline2.

2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Guideline for the Treatment of Heart Failure


*COAPT-like: NYHA II-IV; severe secondary MR; suitable anatomy; LVEF 20%-50%; LVESD ≤70 mm; PASP ≤70 mm Hg.

Severe MR patients require timely assessment and treatment to prevent worsening of HF and other adverse outcomes.
 

VHD is a significant cause of HF. In patients with HF, management of VHD should be performed by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in HF and VHD, in accordance with the VHD guidelines… Severe MR … is associated with adverse outcomes and requires timely assessment, optimization of medical therapies, and consideration of surgical or transcatheter interventions accordingly to prevent worsening of HF and other adverse outcomes.1

MitraClipTM therapy’s 18+ years of clinical evidence is the foundation for the new TEER guideline recommendation.


Clinical trials showing benefits of MitraClip™ were instrumental in defining Class (strength) of Recommendation (COR) levels for severe MR patients with heart failure and valvular heart disease.

Important Safety Information

MITRACLIP™ CLIP DELIVERY SYSTEM

  • The MitraClip™ G4 System is indicated for the percutaneous reduction of significant symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR ≥ 3+) due to primary abnormality of the mitral apparatus [degenerative MR] in patients who have been determined to be at prohibitive risk for mitral valve surgery by a heart team, which includes a cardiac surgeon experienced in mitral valve surgery and a cardiologist experienced in mitral valve disease, and in whom existing comorbidities would not preclude the expected benefit from reduction of the mitral regurgitation.
  • The MitraClip™ G4 System, when used with maximally tolerated guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic, moderate-to-severe or severe secondary (or functional) mitral regurgitation (MR; MR ≥ Grade III  per American Society of Echocardiography criteria) in patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 20% and ≤ 50%, and a left ventricular end systolic dimension (LVESD) ≤ 70 mm whose symptoms and MR severity persist despite maximally tolerated GDMT as determined by a multidisciplinary heart team experienced in the evaluation and treatment of heart failure and mitral valve disease.

Contraindications

The MitraClip G4 System is contraindicated in patients with the following conditions: Patients who cannot tolerate, including allergy or hypersensitivity to, procedural anticoagulation or post procedural anti-platelet regime; Patients with known hypersensitivity to clip components (nickel / titanium, cobalt, chromium, polyester), or with contrast sensitivity; Active endocarditis of the mitral valve; Rheumatic mitral valve disease; Evidence of intracardiac, inferior vena cava (IVC) or femoral venous thrombus.

Potential Complications and Adverse Events

The following ANTICIPATED EVENTS have been identified as possible complications of the MitraClip G4 procedure: Allergic reactions or hypersensitivity to latex, contrast agent, anaesthesia, device materials (nickel / titanium, cobalt, chromium, polyester), and drug reactions to anticoagulation, or antiplatelet drugs, Vascular access complications which may require transfusion or vessel repair including: wound dehiscence, catheter site reactions, Bleeding (including ecchymosis, oozing, hematoma, hemorrhage, retroperitoneal hemorrhage), Arteriovenous fistula, pseudoaneurysm, aneurysm, dissection, perforation / rupture, vascular occlusion, Emboli (air thrombotic material, implant, device component); Peripheral Nerve Injury; Lymphatic complications; Pericardial complications which may require additional intervention, including: Pericardial effuse on, Cardiac tamponade, Pericarditis; Cardiac complications which may require additional interventions or emergency cardiac surgery, including: Cardiac perforation, Atrial septal defect; Mitral valve complications, which may complicate or prevent later surgical repair, including: Chordal entanglement / rupture, Single Leaflet Device Attachment (SLDA), Thrombosis, Dislodgement of previously implanted devices, Tissue damage, Mitral valve stenosis, Persistent or residual mitral regurgitation, Endocarditis; Cardiac arrhythmias (including conduction disorders, atrial arrhythmias, ventricular arrhythmias); Cardiac ischemic conditions (including myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, and unstable / stable angina); Venous thromboembolism (including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, post procedure pulmonary embolism); Stroke / Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA); System organ failure: Cardio-respiratory arrest, Worsening heart failure, Pulmonary congestion, Respiratory dysfunction / failure / atelectasis, Renal insufficiency or failure, Shock (including cardiogenic and anaphylactic); Blood cell disorders (including coagulopathy, hemolysis, and Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT)); Hypotension / hypertension; Infection including: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), Pneumonia, Septicemia; Nausea / vomiting; Chest pain; Dyspnea; Edema; Fever or hyperthermia; Pain; Death; Fluoroscopy, Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) and Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) -related complications: Skin injury or tissue changes due to exposure to ionizing radiation, Esophageal irritation; Esophageal perforation, Gastrointestinal bleeding.
