Abstract:
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the most common valvular heart diseases, with many patients remaining non-suitable for surgical interventions. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is a rapidly evolving procedure that allows safe and effective reduction of MR in high-risk patients. However, adequate patient selection through clinical assessment and imaging modalities remains a key factor for procedural success. In the following review, we highlight recent developments in TEER technologies that are expanding the target population and currently available imaging modalities that allow detailed evaluation of the mitral valve and surrounding structures for optimal patient selection.
