N2  - Background: In the randomized COAPT trial, among 614 heart failure (HF) patients with 3+ or 4+ secondary mitral regurgitation (MR), transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) with the MitraClip reduced MR, HF hospitalizations (HFH), and mortality and improved quality of life compared with guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) alone. We sought to examine the prognostic relationship between MR reduction and outcomes after TMVr and GDMT alone. Methods: Outcomes in COAPT between 30 days and 2 years were examined based on the severity of residual MR at 30 days. Results: TMVr-treated patients had less severe residual MR at 30 days than GDMT-treated patients (0/1+, 2+, and 3+/4+: 72.9%, 19.9%, and 7.2% versus 8.2%, 26.1%, and 65.8%, respectively, P<0.0001). The rate of composite death or HFH between 30 days and 2 years was lower in patients with 30-day residual MR of 0/1+ and 2+ compared with 3+/4+ (37.7% versus 49.5% versus 72.2%, respectively, P<0.0001). This relationship was consistent in the TMVr and GDMT arms (Pinteraction=0.92). The improvement in KCCQ score from baseline to 30 days was maintained between 30 days and 2 years in patients with 30-day MR <=2+ but deteriorated in those with 30-day MR 3+/4+ (-0.3+/-1.7 versus -9.4+/-4.6, P=0.0008) consistently in both groups (Pinteraction=0.95). Conclusions: In the COAPT trial, reduced MR at 30 days was associated with greater freedom from death or HFH and improved quality of life through 2-year follow-up whether the MR reduction was achieved by TMVr or GDMT.
