This is a qualitative and quantitative study that seeks to obtain information from patients with degenerative mitral valve prolapse and providers regarding factors important in deciding between surgical mitral valve repair (MVR) and transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). Findings from this study will provide data that can be used to develop decision aids that can assist patients in decision making between these two therapies and assist providers in integrating shared decision making the within the multidisciplinary heart valve team.
Prior qualitative research in decision-making related to heart valve disease has occurred largely in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Among patients undergoing TAVR, physicians estimate patients' symptoms and functional status poorly both before and after treatment. Prior studies have shown that significant variability exists in outcomes most important to patients versus those most important to providers. Specifically, providers may place greater emphasis on clinical endpoints such as mortality or echocardiographic improvement in valve function whereas patients often place greate…

5 quantitative focus groups will be conducted with 5-10 patients each to elicit the range of outcomes patients consider important when selecting treatment options. 100 quantitative surveys to characterize how patients with severe MR prioritize outcomes when making treatment decisions.
