Severe functional MR in CA treated with TEER has the potential risk of increasing LAP. During the short-term follow-up, TEER appears beneficial for left heart function (reduction of MR) but harmful for right heart function (increase of LAP). CA patients with severe FMR should be carefully evaluated about the benefits and potential harm of TEER intervention.
