Key result
Select transcatheter MR repair systems outperform conventional surgery in specific patient populations.
Why the study?
With significant mitral regurgitation increasingly prevalent in an aging population and complex anatomy slowing TMVR development relative to TAVR, the authors sought to provide insight into current standards of transcatheter treatments for severe MR.

May guide high-risk severe MR decisions; extends observational literature while leaving comparative efficacy open.
This review summarizes the current standards and evolution of transcatheter treatments for severe mitral regurgitation, highlighting their importance for patients at high surgical risk.
Sromicki et al. (2019) conducted a review in severe mitral regurgitation. Transcatheter treatments vs. conventional surgery was evaluated. Transcatheter repair systems for severe mitral regurgitation are now available, with some proving superior to conventional surgery in selected patient populations.
