ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is designed to explore the best ways to manage blood-thinning medication (antithrombotic therapy) for patients who have undergone a procedure called transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) to fix a heart valve problem known as mitral regurgitation. This condition affects how the heart pumps blood and is quite common, especially in older adults. The study aims to compare different medication strategies for patients who have had successful TEER, helping to improve future treatment guidelines since there hasn't been a dedicated study on this topic before.
To participate in the trial, patients must have successfully completed the TEER procedure. Depending on their specific needs, they will be placed in one of two groups: one group requires long-term blood-thinning medication, while the other does not. Participants will need to understand the trial requirements, agree to follow the study protocol, and provide written consent. Throughout the trial, patients can expect careful monitoring and support as researchers gather important information to help improve treatment options for others in the future.
