Background:

Valvular heart disease necessitates innovative treatment options.
Conventional surgical management poses risks for certain patient populations.
Percutaneous catheter-based interventions offer a less invasive alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the emerging field of percutaneous catheter-based valve repair and replacement.
To highlight the current status, challenges, and future directions of these procedures.

Main Methods:

Review of early clinical experiences and literature on percutaneous valve interventions.
Analysis of reported cases and outcomes for pulmonary, aortic, and mitral valve interventions.
Discussion of technological limitations and anatomical complexities.

Main Results:

Early results for percutaneous valve interventions are promising, particularly for high-risk patients.
Pulmonary valve replacement has demonstrated feasibility; aortic valve replacement shows variable success.
Percutaneous mitral valve replacement is not yet reported, but repair techniques are under investigation.

Conclusions:

Percutaneous valve interventions are an evolving field with significant potential.
Technological advancements and rigorous clinical trials are crucial for establishing safety, efficacy, and optimal patient selection.
These minimally invasive procedures are expected to increase in frequency as limitations are overcome.
