A Simplified Stepwise Approach to Echo Guidance during Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair

[Percutaneous approaches to mitral valve disease]
Abstract:
Percutaneous approaches to mitral valve disease consist in modifications of existing surgical techniques, aiming to replicate the favourable outcomes of surgery, with less procedure-related risk, due to their less invasive nature. While some of these techniques are clearly indicated for the management of certain valve diseases, other appear as possible alternatives to surgery among patients deemed at high-risk or considered inoperable, or are still under clinical investigation. Major development of these percutaneous approaches is expected within the future, thus hopefully allowing treatment of a larger proportion of patients with mitral valve disease.
