Age, frailty and comorbidities play an important role for survival prediction in patients undergoing M-TEER. Very old patients, patients with impairment of independence and abilities, and an increasing number of non-cardiac comorbidities significantly dimmish long-term survival in this real-world patient sample of >4.500 individuals undergoing M-TEER in the German health care system. M-TEER effectively reduces the number of heart failure hospitalizations, even though overall medical expenses and number of doctor-patient contacts in the ambulatory setting remain unchanged 12-months after the intervention.
