MitraClip Induced Annular Remodeling in Relation to MR Response. Magnitude of acute MitraClip induced reduction in mitral annular circumference (top) and area (bottom), as quantified using intra-procedural TEE, among patients stratified based on optimal MitraClip response (≤mild MR) as assessed on followup ambulatory TTE. Left: Greater magnitude of device-induced annular remodeling (reduced size) was observed among patients with sub-optimal MitraClip response, irrespective of whether quantified based on absolute change (pre – post) in 3D annular circumference or area (both p < 0.05). Right: Similar results were obtained when examining relative change ([pre – post] / pre) in annular remodeling indices. Data shown as mean ± standard deviation
