Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement: Rationale and Current Status
Key result
Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is under development with early feasibility and pivotal trials underway to address limitations of current transcatheter repair techniques.
Why the study?
Current transcatheter mitral repair techniques are limited by therapeutic target and incomplete mitral regurgitation reduction, prompting the development of transcatheter mitral valve replacement to avoid the risks of traditional surgery.
