Key result
Transcatheter mitral valve intervention effectively treats MR in high-risk patients, complementing established surgery.
Why the study?
The optimal choice between mitral valve repair and replacement for functional mitral regurgitation remains debated, and minimally invasive and transcatheter treatments are evolving.
This review outlines the current status, characteristics, and treatment policies for surgical and transcatheter interventions in patients with mitral regurgitation.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Reviews mitral interventions and institutional policy; leaves open optimal functional MR strategy pending higher-level evidence.

Osaka et al. (2017) conducted a review in Mitral Regurgitation. Transcatheter Intervention and Surgery was evaluated. Transcatheter mitral valve intervention has emerged as an effective treatment for mitral regurgitation in patients who are at high risk for surgery, complementing established surgical approaches.
