Key result
Percutaneous mitral valve replacement and repair techniques offer complementary rather than competitive clinical roles.
Why the study?
The potential for percutaneous mitral valve implantation to become the leading therapy raises questions about the clinical roles of replacement versus repair techniques.
Will percutaneous mitral valve replacement and repair techniques have a complementary or competitive clinical role?
Will percutaneous mitral valve replacement and repair techniques have a complementary or competitive clinical role?
This review discusses the complementary versus competitive roles of percutaneous mitral valve repair and replacement technologies.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports complementary use of percutaneous mitral repair and replacement in planning; leaves open need for prospective trials to define roles.
As transcatheter mitral replacement technologies have recently been applied in early clinical trials, the question as to whether valve implantation would have the potential to become the leading percutaneous mitral valve therapy has been raised. The aim of this report is to give an overview of the different peculiarities of percutaneous replacement and repair techniques, and to predict whether the two approaches will have a complementary rather than a competitive clinical role in the near future.

Taramasso et al. (2016) conducted a review in Mitral valve disease. Percutaneous mitral valve repair and replacement was evaluated. This report provides an overview of percutaneous mitral valve replacement and repair techniques, predicting they will have complementary rather than competitive clinical roles in the near future.
