Key result
Transesophageal echocardiography is essential in patient screening, intraprocedural guidance, and post-procedure evaluation for patients undergoing edge-to-edge plication with MitraClip.
Transesophageal echocardiography is an essential imaging modality for patient screening, intraprocedural guidance, and post-procedure evaluation during transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair.
Supports routine TEE in MitraClip workflows; leaves open prospective trials on alternative imaging.
Percutaneous intervention for mitral valve disease has been established as an alternative to open surgical repair in high risk and inoperable candidates. Edge-to-edge leaflet plication with Mitraclip (Abbott, Menlo Park, CA, USA) is indicated for primary and secondary mitral valve diseases. Echocardiography provides a better understanding of mitral valve anatomy and allows us to classify and quantify mitral regurgitation. Transesophageal echocardiography is essential in patient screening, intraprocedural guidance, and post-procedure evaluation for patients undergoing edge-to-edge plication with MitraClip.

Aman et al. (2019) conducted a review in Mitral regurgitation. Echocardiographic guidance for transcatheter mitral valve repair (MitraClip) was evaluated. Transesophageal echocardiography is essential in patient screening, intraprocedural guidance, and post-procedure evaluation for patients undergoing edge-to-edge plication with MitraClip.
