Abstract:
Growing clinical data support the use of transcatheter therapies for significant mitral valve disease. Currently, edge-to-edge repair is the transcatheter treatment of choice, but many anatomies are not suitable. Transcatheter mitral valve replacement offers several potential advantages over transcatheter repair, most notably a greater and more sustained reduction in mitral regurgitation post-implantation, but also potential disadvantages. To enable the successful treatment of mitral valve disease in a wide range of patients and anatomies, we require an armory of transcatheter devices, including transcatheter mitral valve replacement systems.
