Key result
Intraprocedural guidance for percutaneous mitral valve repair relies on the integration of fluoroscopy and echocardiography and continuous communication between the imager and cardiologist.
Why the study?
Percutaneous mitral valve intervention is emerging as an alternative for mitral regurgitation, requiring review of intraprocedural guidance approaches targeting leaflets, annulus, or left ventricle.
This review highlights the importance of integrating fluoroscopy and echocardiography for intraprocedural guidance during percutaneous mitral valve repair.
Percutaneous mitral valve intervention is emerging as a valid alternative for patients affected by mitral regurgitation. By addressing the pathophysiology, therapeutic options mainly target the leaflets, annulus or left ventricle. The present review will cover the intraprocedural guidance of the most used approaches, such as edge to edge repair, adjustable transapical beating-heart chordal implantation and percutaneous direct or indirect annuloplasty. Intraprocedural monitoring relies on integration of fluoroscopy and echocardiography, and is based on the continuous communication between the interventional imager and the interventional cardiologist.

Ancona et al. (2020) conducted a review in Mitral regurgitation. Intraprocedural guidance in percutaneous mitral valve repair was evaluated. Intraprocedural guidance for percutaneous mitral valve repair relies on the integration of fluoroscopy and echocardiography and continuous communication between the imager and cardiologist.
