Why the study?
An increasing number of elderly patients with comorbidities or LV dysfunction carry high surgical risk, driving interest in less-invasive, percutaneous mitral valve repair strategies.
Highlights the growing interest in percutaneous mitral valve repair strategies for high surgical risk patients.
Highlights percutaneous MV repair interest for high-risk elderly/LV dysfunction patients; leaves open need for RCTs on outcomes.
In the past two decades great interest has developed for less-invasive, percutaneous mitral valve (MV) repair strategies. This is mainly due to the increasing number of elderly patients with comorbidities and/or patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, that are associated with a high surgical risk.
