Transcatheter mitral valve repair: an overview of current and future devices
Key result
Transcatheter mitral valve repair is a rapidly evolving field requiring a patient-tailored approach and Heart Team consensus to optimize outcomes for patients with severe mitral regurgitation.
Why the study?
The field of transcatheter mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation is rapidly evolving, with growing evidence for strategies targeting the mitral annulus and chordae alongside edge-to-edge repair.
