Key result
Minimally invasive percutaneous techniques offer an efficacious alternative to surgery for treating valvular and structural alterations in patients with advanced heart failure at elevated surgical risk.
Why the study?
Recent minimally invasive percutaneous techniques have demonstrated efficacy in patients with advanced heart failure and elevated surgical risk, warranting a review of interventions in clinical practice or development.
This review summarizes minimally invasive percutaneous structural interventions for patients with advanced heart failure and elevated surgical risk.
Advanced heart failure is often accompanied by perturbations in cardiac chamber or valve geometries which result in worsening cardiac function and hemodynamics. Once limited to surgical procedures, recent developments in minimally invasive percutaneous techniques have demonstrated efficacy in patients with both reduced and preserved ejection fraction who are at an elevated surgical risk for perioperative events. This review highlights a subset of the interventions available in clinical practice or in development for the treatment of these valvular and structural alterations.
