Summary
Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) can cause rare mitral regurgitation (MR) due to leaflet perforation. Patient-specific 3D models are crucial for assessing perforation size and optimizing TEER device selection.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Interventional Cardiology
- Medical Device Technology
Background:
- Mitral regurgitation (MR) can occur as a rare complication after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER).
- Leaflet perforation is a critical complication requiring precise evaluation and management strategies.
