Abstract

Bleeding after cardiac surgery or cardiovascular interventions is associated with worse patient outcome. Only very limited data are available on the subject of bleeding after percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (PMVR). We performed a single center analysis including 347 consecutive patients who underwent PMVR. Bleeding was defined according to the Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium (MVARC) end point definition. The incidence of MVARC bleeding was 21.6% (n = 75), whereas major MVARC bleeding (hemoglobin decrease >= 3 g/dl) occurred in 7.4% (n = 26). Only 33.3% of all bleeding cases were access site related. In multivariate regression analyses, independent predictors of MVARC bleeding were the presence of coronary artery disease (2.809, 95% CI 1.123 to 7.022, p = 0.027) and intervention duration (1.010, 95% CI 1.002 to 1.018, p = 0.010). Patients experiencing MVARC bleeding had longer hospital stays (p = 0.026); however, neither major nor extensive MVARC bleeding was associated with increased 30-day or 1-year mortality. A decrease in hemoglobin levels >= 3 g/dl without clinically visible bleeding sign not considered in the MVARC bleeding definition occurred in 9.5% of patients. A hemoglobin decrease of >= 4 g/dl had a strong association with worse survival in those patients with obscure bleeding. In conclusion, these data show a relevant incidence of bleeding after PMVR. In contrast to other cardiovascular interventions, the majority of bleedings were not access site-related. Particularly, patients with obscure bleeding, which are not included in the MVARC end point definitions, had worse outcomes and should therefore be considered for a more intensive workup.
