Key result
Multi-modality imaging optimizes patient selection and planning in transcatheter mitral valve interventions.
Why the study?
Multi-modality imaging is essential for accurate patient selection and pre-procedural planning of transcatheter mitral valve interventions in patients unsuitable for surgery.
May inform TMVI patient selection in high-risk mitral regurgitation; leaves open prospective validation of standardized multi-modality protocols.
Transcatheter mitral valve interventions (TMVI), either repair or replacement, are established alternative options for patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) deemed not suitable for conventional open-heart surgery. Multi-modality imaging plays a pivotal role in the selection of patients, gaining insights into the anatomy of the mitral valve the mechanism and the severity of MR, which are essential to predict the success of these procedures. The aim of this review is to provide an overview on the role of multi-modality imaging in the patient selection and pre-procedural planning of TMVI.

Tarzia et al. (2023) conducted a review in Mitral regurgitation. Multi-modality imaging was evaluated. Multi-modality imaging provides complementary information essential for patient selection and pre-procedural planning in transcatheter mitral valve interventions.
