Abstract:
Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) is the most prevalent valvular disorder among the growing elderly population, occurring in over 6% of those aged >65. Unfortunately, many individuals with severe MR (particularly those with systolic dysfunction or secondary MR) will not be candidates for surgical valve repair or replacement due to high or prohibitive operative risk. For such patients, transcatheter mitral valve replacement represents a viable option. The TendyneTM valve (Abbott Vascular, CA, USA) is one of the most well-studied system to date, with a good safety and efficacy profile.
