Abstract:
Percutaneous approaches to mitral regurgitation remain largely investigational. In the last decade, novel percutaneous strategies have opened new options in the treatment of valvular heart disease. Several studies are currently underway to determine the benefits of transcatheter mitral valve repair therapy. Transcatheter chordal procedures are being developed, including chordal cutting and chordal implantation. Transcatheter valve implantation in the mitral position might offer a desirable alternative in selected patients and has been accomplished in a compassionate fashion on rare occasions in patients who are not candidates for surgical valve repair or replacement.
