Key result
Percutaneous mitral annuloplasty offers a potentially less invasive alternative to surgery for mitral regurgitation.
Why the study?
A less invasive percutaneous approach to mitral annuloplasty with potentially lower morbidity might offer advantages over surgical procedures despite possibly lower efficacy.
This review discusses current experimental percutaneous approaches to mitral annuloplasty as a potentially less invasive alternative to surgery for mitral valve regurgitation.
Experimental percutaneous mitral annuloplasty remains investigational; leaves open its role as a less invasive option pending randomized trials.
Mitral annuloplasty is the most common surgical procedure performed for mitral valve regurgitation, whether performed alone or as part of a more complex repair. A less invasive percutaneous approach to mitral annuloplasty associated with lesser morbidity might offer advantages over a surgical procedure in some patients, even if less efficacious. We review current experimental percutaneous approaches to mitral annuloplasty.

Masson et al. (2009) conducted a review in Mitral valve regurgitation. Percutaneous mitral annuloplasty vs. Surgical mitral annuloplasty was evaluated. This review discusses current experimental percutaneous approaches to mitral annuloplasty as a potentially less invasive alternative to surgery for mitral valve regurgitation.
