Bleeding complications and infections were more frequent in frail patients undergoing transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve repair and partly explained the longer hospital stay. Albeit some of the complications were associated with higher long-term mortality, this did not explain the strong association between frailty and mortality. Further research is warranted to explore interventions targeting periprocedural complications to improve outcomes in this vulnerable population.
